On stage, worn by stars like
Jeff Goldblum and Kyle McLachlan
, but also by the young
Thomas Brodie-Sangster,
work goes, which contaminates and rebuilds the sartorial soul of the brand.
Pragmatism influences elegance, with the methods of tailoring applied to knitwear, bomber jackets and parkas, giving formality to the garments.

The Prada fashion show with Hollywood actors - Lifestyle
"The approach - explains
Raf Simons, who designs the collection together with Miuccia Prada
- is to make all the items equally important". Thus, under coats and suits with important shoulders, tightened by belts at the waist and with
colored fur details at the edges and on the sleeves,
two-piece suits in light material are worn, which recall the idea of work, movement, activity and free time.
Proposals "in tech silk, leather, luxury cotton - continues Simons -, replace the traditional shirt / belt / historical tie, giving a new energy and reality, even a younger attitude. Always respecting the importance of sartorial classicism, even though moving towards the future ". "We had in mind - Miuccia Prada intervenes -
an eloquent fashion
, garments that had meaning. Clothes capable of making people feel important and that they were, in themselves, important.
Not a disposable fashion
, but something that had meaning, longevity and relevance. The concept of classic is very important. "" The collection - Miuccia Prada still reflects -
celebrates the idea of work
in all its different spheres and meanings. It refers to practicality and everyday life, but with a formal and not casual importance. Through these clothes we want to emphasize that everything a human being does is important. Every aspect of reality can be elegant and dignified. Elevated and celebrated. "To celebrate life in all its facets, British actors Asa Butterfield, Damson Idris and the emerging Thomas Brodie-Sangster, the Israeli Tom Mercier, seen in the series" We Are Who We Are ", the young star Jaden Michael, Louis Partridge, among the protagonists of the film 'Enola Holmes', the promising Ashton Sanders and Filippo Scotti, protagonist of" It was the hand of God ". And then one of the fetish actors of David Lynch,the Kyle McLachlan of The Secrets of Twin Peaks and Jeff Goldblum of 'Jurassic Park' and 'La Mosca', called to open and close the show.
