Prada FW22
WORDS BY,
JORDAN TURNER
There’s a particular Epic that Prada brings to fashion.
It’s an unspoken ode to their clothes that Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons do not design to follow trends but rather make them.

Inspired by the concept of work being a grounding state of reality, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons’ Fall Winter 2022 collection uses theatre and cinema to communicate this on a sophisticated stage of yellow. Actors like Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Jeff Goldblum, and Damson Idris walk the runway as powerful representations of interpreters of reality.
Prada symbolized respect and power across the precious leathers and silk tech imbued by sartorial tailoring. From beginning to the end, it showed in the construction of FW22’s knitwear, bomber jackets, parkas and coats, recontextualizing ubiquitous clothing.
Yet the most present and defying design element of them all was elegance. As leaders of modernism, Prada and Simons provided the most powerful gift to masculinity by giving shape and form to Men’s clothing. With shoulders emphasized and waists cinched, elegance now becomes a means of celebration, of imparting value and significance.
The Prada FW22 silhouette is one that will change Men’s fashion.
Each garment in Prada’s collections, both singularly and as part of each look, transports one to their ultimate form. Whatever that form may be for you, it brings a reality of significance.
Prada and Simons continue to master the ability to take us to pure fantasy land. Prada’s FW22 collection for men is nothing short of this ideal - now a reality.
