Prada and the Value of Men's Clothing For Fall/Winter 2023

On one side, the styles of the men's wardrobe, on the other, oversized bomber jackets. In a choral work, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons lead us to the discovery of a new masculine rigor for the Prada Men's Fall/Winter 2023 collection.

Oversized coats with '70s-style collars that would suggest the presence of a shirt, which isn't there, turning into interchangeable accessories to be proposed in different looks, most of which were made up of jackets and ankle-length trousers, oversized silhouettes and skinny, interspersed with open cardigans with exposed bare chest. There are high-waisted cropped jackets that highlight the skinny shapes of ankle-length trousers, coats, and tunic dresses in suede or wool paired with tapered trousers and socks (strictly black) in full view. Chunky shoes with thick soles interrupt a very essential catwalk, crossed only by colored stripes on the jackets, and monochrome pieces like shirts and pullovers. Wide jackets, military-inspired uniform jackets, and then the cocoon bomber jacket, a "cozy" garment as soft as a pillow, a perfect reference to the invitation to the show, which was precisely a soft pillow to be covered with a cover printed with iconic graphic motifs. A special mention for the new structured bags: rigid shopping bags from which thermoses emerge, in black leather or with a metal effect, almost reminiscent of a non-slip platform.
