With the new year now officially in full swing, attentions have turned to the fashion world once more, as we attempt to brace ourselves for the endless Menswear displays synonymous with the beginning of the year. And, the house looking to kick things off with an almighty bang is Prada, as it takes to Italy to unveil its FW22 collection.

With the concept of work’s fundamental impact on our society at the forefront of the collection, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons looked to give the working man a wardrobe, elevated with elegant and celebratory sensibilities. With architectural structures rigidly presenting themselves in each look, longline coats and blazers boasted clean lines, resulting in the boxy silhouettes and sharp shoulders synonymous with what can now be dubbed as the forever-cool Prada uniform. However, while formality was key, that was not to say that Prada’s affinity for the eccentric was forgotten, as we were treated to vibrant faux fur-trimmed hems and the now-iconic flash of brightly coloured nylon that Prada fans have come to adore.

Now, while the luxurious menswear cuts deserved to take centre stage at the Milan-bound show, it wouldn’t be fair to disregard the internet-shattering eye candy that we also witnessed, served up to us in the form of Hollywood’s finest storming the runway. With a highly-anticipated Prada catwalk debut from Jeff Goldblum, and appearances from Asa Butterfield, Ashton Sanders, Tom Mercier, Damson Idris, and Thomas Brodie-Sangster, the worlds of Sex Education and Moonlight clashed with that of high fashion in explosive delight. It is fair to say that the show’s model roster was as worthy of hype as the clothes themselves.

With the bar firmly set by Prada at its unbreakable codes, it is fair to say that we are well and truly braced for the weeks ahead. Bring on fashion month!
