Prada, autumn-winter 2021-2022: etymology of beauty and history of feminine style

Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons celebrate beauty and life in the Prada fall / winter 2022-2023 collection.

Among the most beautiful and evocative fashion shows of Milan Fashion Week 2022 there is certainly that of Prada. The duo Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons gives us a women’s fall / winter 2022-2023 collection that echoes the men’s one, retracing an evolution of women’s style over time to the notes of the iconic, nostalgic and suspended songs of Depeche Mode. The mood of Prada wants to be timeless: it looks to the past with the volumes of the future, it writes the present by mixing trends.

Prada, the fall / winter 2022-2023 fashion show at Milan Fashion Week 2022

To open the show is Kaia Gerber , who wears the iconic outfit of the show: white tank top with Prada stylized triangle and semi-transparent skirt, protagonist in several variations in the things of the show. The nylon and chiffon skirt is in constant evolution and transformation: pleated, with sequins, extremely versatile to wear in the evening but also during the day to rewrite the rules of workwear, to be completed with a handbag that extends its handles to carry also on the shoulder. All his suggestions are in the complete video of the fashion show on Instragram.

The structured jacket with its voluminous and pronounced shoulders perpetuates a new dress that we have already grasped in the men’s show: the garment is genderless , to be exchanged, without different connotations for her and for her. And even this garment becomes transformative, in a cape version embellished with a chain necklace, to be worn on rigorous and structured dresses.

And again plays of transparencies , lengths , Prada lets itself be enchanted by the mix and match but also by the past with its long wide and pleated skirts on impressive jackets, but to be combined with strappy shoes, evoking a Marlene Dietrich style. Light and unexpected feathers become the frou flou detail of these always different maxi jackets, which travel between gray and black.

The trends for next winter to keep an eye on: from two-tone shoes to skirts

The trends that will dominate the next winter season emerge in the Prada fashion show. A romantic and nostalgic wave is now common to all the collections, and in the case of Prada it can be summed up in the reinterpretation of skirts : the pencil skirts become transparent, with or without applications, ready to be elegant or daily.

But also pay attention to the décolleté shoes with straps , other absolute protagonists of the show: in bicolor, black tip and pastel colors, they revisit the latest trend Chanel model with a platform that slims the figure, giving a futuristic touch even to the most vintage look. Among the shoes, boots also steal the show, in a reflective version.
