Prada Unveil ‘Overload of Contemporary Culture’ at Milan Fashion Week

The father and mother of fashion, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, return to Milan Fashion Week with a star-studded affair

Prada’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection is described as an ‘overload of contemporary culture,’ filtering wardrobes with clashing looks that question the state of fashion today. Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons’s bold and vibrant uniforms reigned supreme on the runway, defining a new sense of elegance for the modern woman. The show notes describe it as ‘an analysis of dress,’ which responds to an unknown future.

Short-sleeved boiler suits were paired with crumpled silk gloves, while a variety of prints and textures collided across midi skirts and oversized dresses. Military shirts layered with open-cardigans and draped skirts led to sparkling dresses, pocketed hot pants, and oversized trench coats. Relaxed bras, bubble skirts, and leather pouches shimmered in a palette of soft colors, where utility intertwined with fresh, chaotic elegance.

The Prada Spring/Summer 2026 collection is messy, loud, and unapologetically contradictory—a chaotic manifesto for a world on edge.
