Prada opened Milan Fashion Week with one idea: the skirt.
Prada’s spring 2027 show on September 22 put a knee- or midi-length skirt in nearly every look: wrap skirts with high slits, sheer pleats in pastels, sequined florals, kilt-style wool and see-through pencil skirts with rhinestones.
W’s September 22 report from the fluorescent-lit Prada Foundation describes the styling: minimal bandeau and bralette tops, gem-trimmed bra layers under colorblock shirts, raw-hem vests, asymmetric sunglasses, and kitten heels with floral brooches. Raf Simons said the team was “fascinated by the way Prada skirts, not alone but in particular, stand the test of time.”
Why it travels past fashion people: a single-garment thesis is easy to copy at home. One skirt, one plain top, done. Prada also took the opening slot of the week for the first time in years, which is why your fashion feed switched from London to Milan overnight. Spring 2027 is the collection name, not a typo.
