Prada’s spring-summer 2026 menswear collection continues to unravel the codes of masculine dressing through a calculated clash of references. The lineup reveals a sequence of disruptions.
Coats appear over shirts and briefs while sharp tailoring is layered with sportswear. The staging at the Deposito of Fondazione Prada emphasizes these contrasts, where the sterile runway sets the stage for unapologetic contradiction.
This season, garments serve as statements of uncertainty. The floral tunics and striped sailor tops offer a cheerful dissonance when worn with bare legs and sandals. Some looks feel lifted from vacation snapshots, while others resemble institutional uniforms with skewed purpose.
Raf Simons and Miuccia Prada push these disorienting pairings, using repetition and minimal ornamentation to stretch the possibilities of taste itself.
Accessories reinforce the message. Wide-brim hats create mystery, forming a screen between model and observer. Meanwhile, sandals are paired with socks, sneakers with suiting, and bucket hats with tailored outerwear.
The effect resists cohesion, yet threads together a binding narrative. This collection marks a pivot in Prada’s ongoing commentary on the shifting meaning of dress, shaped by managed confusion and a movement away from tradition.
