Prada and Raf Simons unveil light-filled S/S 2026 menswear at Fondazione Prada

Prada's S/S 2026 menswear show, co-directed by Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, marked the first time Fondazione Prada's Deposito was shown with natural light flooding in, as the OMA-designed set featured 1970s-inspired floral rugs. Simons described the collection as 'light, fresh and colourful' and 'the easiest collection I have ever done.' The show highlighted a trend for bold outerwear, with colourful mackintosh jackets, including a pillarbox red coat featured in Wallpaper*'s March Style Issue. Other brands like Loewe, Auralee, Dries Van Noten, Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello, and Polo Ralph Lauren also embraced vivid hues for spring. The article curates a selection of colourful outerwear pieces, including Prada's red gabardine jacket, Polo Ralph Lauren's vintage green Harrington, Auralee's pink hoodie-jacket, Loewe's yellow balloon-hem jacket, Saint Laurent's blue windbreaker, Stone Island's sugary pink jacket, Burberry's cornflower blue anorak, and Miu Miu's red blouson. The piece notes that red is a key colour for summer, seen at Dior, Chanel, and Celine. Jack Moss, Fashion & Beauty Features Director at Wallpaper*, authored the article.
