This season, Prada’s menswear offered a poetic meditation on the paradoxes of being human. “An expression of instinct,” the designers called it—a reflection of our inherent contradictions, dressed in bold, evocative form. Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons peeled back the layers of the modern man, revealing a wardrobe that danced between primal and polished, raw and romantic.
Fifty-six looks traversed the runway, each an ode to instinctive expression. Long, commanding overcoats, edged with wild-haired stoles, swung open to expose bare torsos, an unapologetic nod to vulnerability. Slim, cropped sweaters with cottage-like whimsy clashed playfully against structured loafers and razor-sharp trousers, embodying an effortless tension between innocence and sophistication.
Flashes of color—bright purples, paisley prints—punctuated a palette otherwise grounded in moody blacks and earthy tones. Floral brooches softened the austerity of tailored blazers, while bomber jackets embraced cowhide fur in defiance of the ordinary. Western boots found their footing under tight slacks, offering a subtle rebellion in their swagger.
The collection whispered of the intimate chaos of dressing—a closet undone by instinct, rather than algorithmic precision. It celebrated the tactile pleasure of mixing textures and patterns: plush trapper hats and structured knitwear, durable denim paired with fluid silks, and leather that roared with resilience. These were clothes that spoke to the untamed artistry of being human, messy yet deliberate, vulnerable yet bold.
Prada Men’s Fall/Winter 2025 is a declaration of individuality in an era of machine-made sameness. This is not fashion for the predictable, but for those who dare to let instinct lead. From floral loafers to plaid trenches, the standout trends spoke of a humanity that refuses to be tamed. It’s a wardrobe for the dreamers, the the disruptors, and the romantics who embrace the beautiful contradictions within.
