Over a glass-encased garden, Prada presented its Fall/Winter 2024 collection. On a set whose flooring replicated that of the menswear show earlier this year, Mrs Prada and Raf Simons explored the juxtaposition of feminine and masculine. The duality was probed openly — separating garments' fronts and backs into different pieces. Intimidating wool coats revealed silky backs as they walked by.

The range of this conversation exceeded the limits of individual looks, it permeated the collection. Formal masculinity, embodied by structured coats in shades of black and grey, was contrasted by outrageously feminine dresses adorned with too many bows to count. Prada’s gift for portraying strikingly delicate, yet cerebral, femininity was on full display. Sparkly bows decorated heavy knitwear, while furry flowers blossomed on sheer dresses.

Accessories were a standout, from feathered pilot hats to embellished bags. Galleria bags were rendered irresistibly useless when dangled from wristbands, emptily swaying to the sound of a distorted rendition of My Funny Valentine.
