Cultures, societies, and individuals each have their own ideas about what a body should be. To some, the body is a temple, meant to be filled and adorned with fruitful offerings, and to others, an empty vessel, existing as a carrier for the mind and spirit. Tradition, hierarchies, and preconceptions collapsed at the Deposito at Fondazione Praza in Milan, during Prada’s Spring/Summer 2026 Womenswear show, titled Body of Composition. This collection challenges conventional notions of garment shapes, placements, and occasions in response to the overabundance of contemporary culture. Combining juxtaposing elements and ideas creates a fusion of creativity and inventiveness, speaking to the beauty of the distilled, unexpected, and flexible.

Transformative ideas are never typical. With every look that struts across the reflective orange floor of the industrial room, perceptions are challenged, looks change meaning mid-step, and garments shape themselves to the wearer as they move, adapting to their every shift. As the clothed human beings we are (at least most of the time), our bodies are both the art and the artist, bringing to life a universe of sound, light, and color. At Prada, this expression serves as a beacon, inspiring creation, styling, and arrangement that defies expectations.

From workwear to eveningwear transformations, to skirts with shoulder-hung skirts to floating brassières, Prada delivers pieces that dance and change at every angle and vantage point. In a world that changes by the millisecond, Prada proposes a wardrobe in flux—clothing that refuses fixity, instead embracing motion, metamorphosis, and the unpredictability of life itself.

Lightness and luminosity were on full display in Milan, complete with the attendance of stars Kerry Washington, Carey Mulligan, Maya Hawke, Sadie Sink, Eiza González, Eiza González, Peggy Gou, Emma Chamberlain, Charli D’Amelio, and others.
