When it comes to dressing with purpose, intentionality requires calibration. It’s a virtue Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons chose to explore for their S/S27 collection, shifting their attention to the most unassuming building blocks of a wardrobe: the basics. Fittingly, they named this menswear collection “Clarity.”
Marking the thirteenth season Simons has worked alongside Prada, their partnership has crystallized into a shared intuition. Their creative compass led them to Milan, where a runway made of transparent Perspex became the stark backdrop for their unveiling. Both designers, it seemed, welcomed scrutiny for this lineup of reinterpreted essentials, presented in a space that closely resembled a photographer’s light box.
Interestingly, despite this being a menswear collection, many elements fluidly translate to a woman’s wardrobe.
