It’s Prada day, which means that fashion people all over the world came together, no matter what time it was, to bear witness to Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons’s latest creations as they made their debut. I watched the show from the steps of Prada’s SoHo store among Parsons students as well as editors, stylists, and influencers who didn’t travel to Milan this season. Our editorial director, Lauren Eggertsen<\/a>, viewed the unveiling from Fondazione Prada<\/a>, the art institution where the Italian house holds its runway show every season. Many more watched from their iPhones and laptop screens, zooming in on every last detail and taking screenshots to inspect later.<\/p>\n The Prada show is always a look into the future. During it, you’ll rarely see anything similar to what other brands are debuting. It’s always fresh and different, and it paints a picture of what fashion will soon look like. The biggest takeaway from spring\/summer 2026 is that minimalism will soon be ushered out of the spotlight, making room for louder (yet still refined) aesthetics to take the stage. Clashing combinations of orange, purple, red, and pink will replace muted neutrals in our spring wardrobes. At the same time, eccentric accessories\u2014like satin opera gloves, colorful drop earrings made with oversize gemstones, and rhinestone-crusted pumps\u2014will soon take over from calmer alternatives.<\/p>\n
