A subset appeared in nearly transparent white technical fabric more suited to Europe\u2019s recent heatwave. Only a handful of closing looks were fashioned from actual denim.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"font-size-scaler-control\" data-font=\"16\">A smattering of cropped shirts and knitwear vests featured geometric patterns that were pulled together with clashing silk scarves tied around the midriff. The only bags were colorful pouches worn at the waist, sometimes attached to thick belts. A pointy shoe with multiple Velcro straps finished the looks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"font-size-scaler-control\" data-font=\"16\">Prada said the goal was a collection of pieces that were universal and to avoid \u201cuseless design,\u201d which she added was \u201ca lot of what\u2019s around\u201d on other runways.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"font-size-scaler-control\" data-font=\"16\">Simons said the designers wanted to reconnect fashion with the way people actually dress, noting that some of fashion\u2019s strongest ideas historically came \u201cfrom the street\u201d rather than being dictated by luxury brands and runways.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"font-size-scaler-control\" data-font=\"16\">\u201cIt\u2019s a clear silhouette, vertical, simple, sharp, proud. A lot of white, peaceful, hopeful, and cleansing,\u201d Simons said. \u201cWe think this collection is breaking the perception of what is perceived as typical luxury in high fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"font-size-scaler-control\" data-font=\"16\">In the spirit of simplicity, the collection was presented in a bare showroom with transparent bench seating.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"font-size-scaler-control\" data-font=\"16\">Everyone had a front-row view, with the VIP section hosting NBA superstar Anthony Edwards, South African-Australian singer and actor Troye Sivan, K-pop boy group ENHYPEN and British actor Louis Partridge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"font-size-scaler-control\" data-font=\"16\">Crowds of excited fans withstood the early summer heatwave to greet their favorite celebrities.<\/p>\n<p>      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/39399c1307729c96f26f2d1cc1d5f465_Italy_Fashion_Prada_S_S_27_723_1.jpg.webp\" class=\"image-lightbox\" data-fancybox=\"gallery-nextpost\" data-caption=\"A model wears a creation from Prada's Spring\/Summer 2027 men's collection presented in Milan, Italy, Sunday, June 21, 2026.
