Designers Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons opened
the Spring/Summer 2023 show with sharp grey looks including
pointy-collared shirts, slim-fit trousers and a jumpsuit.
Reinforcing the idea of simplicity were sleeveless dresses made
with a paper base fabric. The frocks bore slits at the front,
creases and folds.
"The clothes are about simplicity, with no unnecessary
complication," Miuccia Prada said in a statement.
"There is no complicated structure, nothing unnecessary. No
nonsense - the rawness, the crudeness represents absolute
simplicity. We wanted to do something with the most simple,
modest material - with paper. Then we used this system of
reduction and simplicity as a means of making beauty."
Outerwear consisted of light opera coats and black leather
jackets. Some coats had large bows at the back.
Last season's sheer looks continued at Thursday's show, with
models wearing transparent tops and skirts.
The designers, who worked with film director Nicolas Winding
Refn for the show, stuck to a minimalist colour palette of grey,
white, black with bursts of bright lime, orange and red
occasionally appearing on tops, handbags or shoes.
Milan Fashion Week runs until Sept. 26 with the likes of
heavyweights Gucci, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and Giorgio Armani
among those presenting their latest creations.
