(ANSA) - MILAN, 17 JAN - We all need to go back to human contact: the Prad show for next winter is born from this awareness, which translates the irrepressible need for physical exchange into a passepartout garment that accompanies each look, the 'long john', the once upon a time men's underwear suit, proposed in jacquard version and worn alone or under the men's suit.
If Miuccia Prada remembers underwear and sees it as a little sexy and a little romantic, with references to the world of children but also to the allure of rock stars, for the creative co-director Raffa Simons evokes the virility of the cowboy more, but the need to which it responds is always the same: returning to touch, to a physical feeling of softness and protection, like the one we all feel in these times of pandemic.
A duplicity that immediately emerges from the set of the show, an abstract space conceived by Rem Koolhaas and AMO, suspended between exterior and interior, between marble and furs, where the models do not just spin, but also indulge in a liberating dance.
Inmoda this double movement translates into trousers with a slim silhouette and jackets and coats - single or double-breasted - with more important volumes, but above all tactile fabrics, from jacquard knitwear with geometric motifs to leathers, from re-nylon to bouclé tweed, from classic wool pinstripes to bold colored bomber leather.
A contrast between intimate and tailored trapezoids designed - both underline - not to construct a story but to convey a feeling, even without a real show, with the audience in the hall.
