Prada built its spring/summer 2027 womenswear collection around one garment: the skirt. Presented Sept. 22 at Fondazione Prada in Milan, the collection gave Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons a shared starting point for experiments in fabric, decoration and proportion. The house's official runway gallery lists 63 looks. With trousers and dresses absent, skirts carried the collection's visual variety, moving between sheer layers, pleats, floral prints and elaborate embellishment.
"The skirt as object," began Prada's official show notes, which described the garment as a framework for exploring different ideas within a familiar shape. Some of the strongest details combined decoration with practical construction. Velcro became a surface for crystal embroidery while allowing the wearer to adjust the garment. Oversized metal snap fasteners received jeweled treatments, and crinoline, usually concealed inside clothing, appeared as an exposed layer.
