Prada’s spring/summer 2022 ready-to-wear offering is the archetypal Prada uniform of summer.
Boasting clean-cut lines fused with energetic colours in a style the Italian fashion house has become famous for, the new collection reinterprets Prada’s signature aesthetic in an exciting way.
Designed by co-creative directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons and debuting in Shanghai, China, the event marks the duo’s first destination show.
This not only helped bring two fashion scenes from around the world together but demonstrated Prada’s influence on global fashion.
‘FEELS LIKE PRADA’.
In this post, I’m going to review pieces from this new Prada collection and explore which styles are making it onto my wishlist.
And what better choice than Prada’s newest staple bag,
the Cleo.
My Prada Cleo jacquard knit and leather bag from the autumn/winter 2021 collection is adorned with black and white flower motifs.
I paired this statement bag with a classic pinstripe suit with cropped sleeves.

In my mind, leather jackets have now earned their place as an unlikely staple of the Prada uniform for next summer.

Providing, of course, they’re paired with dazzlingly colourful accessories.
Loose, untied corset detailing features on tops in the collection, creating a rebellious look still in keeping with Prada’s stylized and smart aesthetic.
