Check out all the spring/summer 2021 looks.
. The two creatives produced a show around the idea of technology and humankind. Given that we're still in a pandemic, the traditional runway with an audience in attendance was scrapped, leaving models to debut the spring 2021 ensembles to a virtual crowd in front of panning cameras. The physical environment of the show was created by OMA/AMO with the technology serving as runway decor—think chandeliers of monitors and cameras. The models walked to a soundtrack by Plastikman, a.k.a.
At the heart of the latest Prada collection was the idea of a uniform, both in a metaphorical and physical sense. There wasn't one specific uniform but several kinds, from the"uniform of Prada, of a community, a visual representation of identity, of shared and embraced values, a way of thinking," to what the word uniform means to Simons and Miuccia.
The actual uniforms you see in the spring/summer 2021 collection are pared back and refined without excessive decoration, save for Prada's iconic triangle-shape logo at the neck of many outfits . This season, it's clear the two designers focused on simplicity, reducing"clothing to an essence, to the essential." You'll see this in pieces like the wrap coat models clutched to keep it close and in the sleek matching top/bottom sets devoid of all embellishments.
At the end of the show, both Simons and Miuccia took the time to answer a few pre-screened questions from fans, which felt strangely intimate, given that all of us were watching though a screen. The illuminating discussion included a question about whether anything in fashion is"new" anymore. This rings relevant for Simons, since he just joined Prada and is working with another designer to craft an evolved vision of the brand.
