Miuccia Prada pays homage to the simple functionality of femininity. The Fall/Winter 2025 collection is, in fact, the story of a simple, effective wardrobe. The effect is that of a relaxed collection, created by seemingly casual combinations and irreverent choices with a youthful spirit. An explosion of easy-wear manifests in unique proposals and equally distinctive pairings. The lines are clean and essential, and the sensuality of the Miu Miu woman is fresh and vital, cheeky and sincere, strong and confident. The collection is an exploration of different aspects of femininity, narrated through a set of characters that represent, in various ways, this woman. The concept itself encompasses multiple shades of this aspect of a woman, and for Miuccia Prada, the challenge was to uncover different sides of all of this. What do we want to show about our femininity? Not only in physical terms but also, and above all, in terms of thoughts and reflections. In light of this, the casting was chosen from the friends of the house, not only those connected to the fashion system but also individuals from the worlds of music, cinema, art, and literature.
“Today there is a sense of tension, anxiety, and fear. In this season, I wanted to create an elegance without anything—through the everyday, through the direct manipulation of simple pieces combined with bold gestures of the Feminine, such as jewellery and furs, which elevate by giving importance, value, and complexity to every look.”
The runway is filled with a palette of pastel colours, but with vibrant tones. The lengths shorten and hover around the knee, from which long stockings extend down to the foot. Softly tailored suits are paired with more slim combinations of skirts and tops. The body of the woman is highlighted in every form. Tailored trousers allow fluid movement, while coats with asymmetric volumes at the back bring dynamism to the silhouette. Knitwear takes center stage, with short and long-sleeved sweaters and layered cardigans buttoned up at the front. Lingerie is reinterpreted with satin mini-dresses, but also tops that peek through the layers of looks draped over the shoulders. The skin glides along pencil midi skirts and masculine-cut jackets. The chic touch of furs returns on collars, scarves, hems, and accessories. Stiff hats drop with soft laces to touch the body and follow its lines. The gold details are asymmetric, placed on earrings, bracelets and brooches, imparting a warm and harmonious luminosity to the looks.
The narrative is thus a full elevation of femininity, a reflection of the woman’s character through clothes that express her personality. The construction of these pieces allows for the reinvention of a form separate from the figure of the one who wears them. The power of femininity transforms what is traditionally identified as masculine, and the clothes are freed from their boundaries, unshackled from all constraints. There is a subtle sense of sweetness and tenderness in all of this, with particular attention paid to all the emblems of femininity that become powerful and structured, bold and concrete, giving unusual importance to everyday-inspired pieces. In conclusion, we can say that the study of form is at the center. The consideration and study of the body are also echoed in the setup of the Palais d’Iéna, which exposes the space itself, its structure, and its architecture—directly and simply. The idea of invention is told through few elements, training the viewer’s eye to be sensitive to simplicity.
