Prada FW26 Keeps the Past in the Cut

Professor Ivan Allegranti is a seasoned freelance journalist and academic…
Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons’ Fall/Winter 2026 menswear collection reflects on evolution without erasure, proposing new forms that retain the memory of what came before.
In uncertain times, clarity emerges through elongated, precise silhouettes attuned to the human body and its posture.
Tradition is reworked through questioning, while reduced architectures reveal complexity beneath apparent simplicity.
Collaged prints evoke layered histories, antiquity, Renaissance, modernity, affirming enduring values of culture, care, and intelligence.
Staged within the Fondazione Prada Deposito, the collection transforms memory into a shared, luminous space of connection and continuity.
