"Happy Prada Day!"
This is how editors, influencers, and general fashion enthusiasts—both on the ground at Milan Fashion Week and not—greet each other when Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons are on the calendar. Many a global trend has originated on their Prada runways. (Recent examples include Fall 2024's hats-as-hair and Spring 2025's sporty-chic windbreakers.) However, these shows are about more than a summit for setting a worldwide style agenda: They're masterclasses in digging back into an archive, being unafraid to self-reference, to create something both new and wearable. A lesson in fashion history that doubles as a styling playbook.
