Standard office attire is not often associated with outdoors gear, aside from a trusty anorak worn over a suit for the commute. Yet in Prada’s autumn/winter menswear collection, shown in Milan on Sunday afternoon, the two were pitched as emphatically non-mutually exclusive.
“We don’t want to think that these are clothes to wear to the office or these are the clothes you wear in nature,” said the company’s co-creative director Raf Simons, who joined Miuccia Prada at the helm in 2020. “We want to try to disturb [the] other and come to something contemporary.”
