Prada Spring/Summer 2025 Menswear: Bourgeois Codes Reimagined

architecture-design · 2026-04-26

Prada presented its Spring/Summer 2025 menswear collection at Milan Men's Fashion Week, held at the Fondazione Prada building on via Lorenzini 14. The collection reinterprets bourgeois codes for a younger, contemporary audience. Key pieces include a blue V-neck sweater with gray tailored trousers, shrunken blouses with crumpled collars, pleated cardigans, three-quarter-sleeve trench coats, and technical fabric trousers with many pockets. Accessories feature fake belts on bottoms and bags, a color palette of violet, light blue, and fuchsia, trompe-l'oeil striped shirts, and illusion pullovers mimicking polo and shirt collars. Small handbags are carried on the arm like a bourgeois lady, while cropped leather sweatshirts hide hands. T-shirts are printed with works by French painter Bernard Buffet. The set design contrasts a white house with a hidden rave party, mirroring the collection's illusion of bourgeois existence in 2024.
