This season, Prada girls only want to wear skirts: ballet skirts with leather jackets, the less it makes sense, the more stylish it is
Dressed for a meeting on top, ready to party on the bottom
Summary
・ In the Spring/Summer 2027 collection, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons put the skirt at center stage, making lavish use of crystal embroidery, sheer stiff tulle and ballerina tutu structures. ・ Voluminous, ornate skirts are layered with chunky sweaters, crisp shirts, coats and leather jackets, creating a deliberate mismatch between a rational-looking upper half and a romantic lower half. ・ Office tailoring is fused with ball and party references, breaking away from purely feminine symbols and expressing a free attitude that dressing doesn’t always need to be reasonable. ・ Through the push-and-pull contrast between intricate embroidery and plain knits, the looks escape both blandness and excessive sweetness, once again leaving a distinctive aftertaste of design that sits between wearability and a sense of luxury.
Every Prada season feels like a styling question with no single right answer. This time, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons pose it quite directly: How much can a single skirt change? Shown at Fondazione Prada, the Spring/Summer 2027 collection is almost a love letter to the skirt. Crystal embroidery, sheer organza, crinoline structures, and the airy layers of ballet skirts appear throughout, paired with bright pink, yellow, and green, then tempered by black and gray. Each skirt has its own distinct personality, at times sweet and at others sharp, moving skirts beyond a simple symbol of femininity.

What’s truly interesting is the sense of deliberate mismatch Prada creates. Rather than being paired with the polished tops one might expect, the lavish full skirts are worn with chunky sweaters, crisp shirts, simple coats, and leather jackets. Some looks even include corsets, bringing office, ballroom, and street wardrobes together in a single look.
At first glance, it looks as though you agreed to two dates with completely different dress codes before heading out, yet that very discord is what makes it so appealing. Prada isn’t in a hurry to tell us what the “right” pairing is; instead, it reminds us that a look’s character often depends on how different pieces come together.
Perhaps true sophistication means not having to say everything.

Prada has never been best at simply making pretty clothes; it leaves behind something that lingers and makes you think. Delicate embroidery and plain knits, airy tulle and structured leather pull against one another, keeping romance from becoming overly sweet and practicality from becoming dull. This season may not be about “the return of the skirt,” but rather the idea that getting dressed doesn’t always have to make sense. When the most ordinary sweater meets the grandest skirt, two otherwise unrelated ways of life can briefly overlap: you can keep a cool head in meetings during the day, then let your skirt enter the party ahead of you at night.
