<a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/must-have-prada-bags-summer-2025-galleria-bucket-bag-handbags-fashion-accessories" title="These Are The Must-Have Prada Bags for Summer 2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons</a> translate the contradictions of modern life into a wardrobe of fluid adaptability with their Spring/Summer 2026 women&rsquo;s collection. Titled The Body of Composition, the show staged in Milan unfolded as both manifesto and experiment, dismantling fashion&rsquo;s hierarchies and recomposing them into something startlingly free.
The designers approached the cultural overload of today not with embellishment but with distillation. Uniforms, evening dresses, workwear and jewellery were stripped of rank and placed on equal footing, creating a new grammar of elegance. Nothing was fixed; everything was open to recombination.
Backstage, the pair framed the collection as a challenge to fashion&rsquo;s tendency towards hierarchy. "We don't like to think about how fashion is sometimes perceived in a hierarchical way: 'This collection is more fashionable because...'," mused Simons, "So we thought of a collection in which everything can be combined, from a uniform to a piece of jewellery. It's not about a specific moment in time, nor even a certain type of garment or construction. But we really wanted to challenge ourselves with flow," explains Raf Simons. "I never do it myself. It's so difficult to do something like that. Normally, the skirt is attached at the waist and rests on the body. In this collection, it's attached at the shoulders and left to fall spontaneously," adds Miuccia Prada.

The looks embodied this ethos. The pared-back <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/prada-signature-feminine-edge-fall-winter-2025-show-best-runway-looks-celebrities-karina-byeon-woo-seok" title="Prada Reinforces Its Signature Feminine Edge for Fall/Winter 2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prada</a> uniform collided with feminine flourishes in unexpected recompositions. Eveningwear dissolved into daywear, while utility pieces carried the same charge as a red-carpet gown. Bras offered form without rigid support; coats and dresses shaped the body lightly, rejecting sartorial stiffness. Silhouettes refused finality, instead shifting with the wearer&mdash;unstable, alive, in perpetual translation.
Flexibility, not fixity, was the guiding principle. Each garment operated as part of a mutable system rather than a finished statement. This was not a wardrobe for every occasion, but a wardrobe of possibilities: adaptive, intelligent, conscious.
In The Body of Composition, Prada once again demonstrated its ability to merge intellectual clarity with aesthetic force. The collection wasn&rsquo;t an accumulation of references but an act of subtraction&mdash;restoring to fashion a sense of freedom, fluidity, and awareness.
