Revealing its Fall-Winter 2025 collection by Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, Prada discusses the meaning and definition of femininity. It is an exercise in posing questions and provoking discussion around Prada’s collective perception of the typicality of femininity, notions of beauty, and how those perceptions can constantly change. For instance, dresses – emblematic of femininity – constantly and ceaselessly transform while fragments of garments shift around the body, liberated from their original function and language. Non-recognizable in appearance, their origin is questioned and their meanings change as they move. As proportions are altered, adjusting the behavior of clothes and the rapport between body and dress, a process of reduction emphasizes construction. Untypical materials are used, and raw seams are exposed with intention.

Along came dazzling accessories as gestures of glamour. From jewels to handbags, bows, and decorations, they, however, come as an opposition, contrasting with the attires’ rawness. This difference and divergence is reflective of the multiplicity of femininity, a further questioning of its determination.
