Plenty of sheer and metallic fabrics, “alien” accessories, hole-punched garments: with its spring/summer 2025 collection, Prada clearly wants to beam us all into a future pulsing with possibility.

At the collection’s launch during Milan Fashion Week in September, the brand took a ride in its time machine and came back with inspiration in a mix of sturdy staples – heavy woollens and distressed leather – and pieces shimmering with a retro-futuristic feel. Belts rematerialise atop bags, sunnies come shaped like flies’ eyes.

Not all has veered off to a galaxy far, far away. Also in the collection are less flighty, more classic pieces in florals, with feminine silhouettes, a reminder perhaps that life as we know it will persevere somehow. As the Milan show notes had it, the collection represents: “a plurality of Prada, elements from different eras coexisting simultaneously to challenge any theory of chronology”.
