Designed by Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, the collection unfolds under the title Before and Next, articulating a philosophy of evolution that builds deliberately from what has already been learned, experienced, and carried forward. Staged within the Deposito of the Fondazione Prada, where interior lives and private histories are brought into public view. In attendance, notable figures such as VMAN 55 Cover Star Louis Partridge, Rauw Alejandro, Maya Hawke, Troye Sivan, and Nicholas Hoult were present.

In a cultural climate defined by instability and acceleration, Prada’s response is one of clarity, emerging as a stabilizing force expressed through an elongated and precise silhouette attentive to the human form. Within this framework, tradition operates as a structure open to reinterpretation, with familiar elements of tailoring and construction appearing through subtle shifts that question convention.

In this way, garments retain traces of the past while functioning decisively in the present, positioning clothing as a carrier of values in which ideas of culture, care, and meaning are embedded directly into craft. These pieces acknowledge duration and lived experience, where remembrance operates as an ethical stance that frames respect for what has endured as a prerequisite for meaningful progress.

This layered sensibility extends into the visual language of the collection, where collaged prints draw from antiquity, the Renaissance, and modernity, forming an archaeological dialogue across eras that reflects the accumulation of human experience. While the garments initially appear reduced, their complexity gradually reveals itself through construction and detail, encouraging sustained attention instead of immediate consumption.
