Prada FW22, Catwalkpictures
Miuccia Prada looked to Hollywood for
inspiration as the Italian luxury label unveiled its Autumn-Winter 2022-23
collection on Sunday using 10 actors including Hollywood A-lister Jeff
Goldblum to model the classical chic menswear, all the while bending some
rules.
Among them were David Lynch favourite Kyle MacLachlan ("Twin Peaks"), Jeff
Goldblum ("The Fly", "Jurassic Park"), Asa Butterfield ("Sex Education") and
Thomas Brodie-Sangster ("Bright Star").
Some seemed out of their element, despite their wealth of experience as
actors.
Prada said it wanted to use "real men, recognised figures... who offer a
new facet of reality" as actors.
The collection mixes and matches sober coats and blazers in grey, black and
blue with work outfits in fluorescent colours cut from leather or luxury
cotton.
"Through these clothes, we stress that everything that a human being does
is important," said 72-year-old Miuccia Prada, who heads the group her
grandfather founded in 1913.
"Every aspect of reality can be elegant and dignified."
Raf Simons, Prada's co-designer who joined the house in 2020 after creating
for Jil Sander, Dior and Calvin Klein, noted: "The fundamentals of the men's
wardrobe are associated with industrial forms," melding "sartorial style" and
"streetwear".
The men's fashion week, which runs through Tuesday, was blindsided by the
emergence of the highly contagious Omicron variant of Covid, with many houses
pulling out.
Giorgio Armani cancelled his show in Milan as well as his haute couture
show in Paris, leading an exodus that saw the number of in-person events
shrink from 23 to 16.
Eighteen brands opted for a purely virtual presence, while others presented
their collections by appointment.
"We have learned to live with the virus," Pascal Morand, head of France's
Federation for Haute Couture and Fashion, told AFP.
"Digital enriches the physical, but it can't replace the emotion and
sensory side of the runway shows."(AFP)
