The two creative forces unveils their long-awaited collaboration for Spring/Summer 2021.

After it was announced last spring that Raf Simons was joining <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/prada-mens-spring-2021-collection">Miuccia Prada</a> at her family&rsquo;s fashion house, no one knew what to expect from the non-traditional arrangement&mdash;that was until now. Despite the ongoing pandemic, Prada held its Spring/Summer 2021 runway show as a live event this morning, marking the debut of the pair of co-creative directors at Milan Fashion Week.

The symbolism of the Prada logo, in combination with Simons&rsquo; experimental taste, was unveiled in the decisively modern womenswear collection. Various graphic pieces seen throughout the show featured the artwork of Peter de Potter, a long standing collaborator with Simons, who famously designed for Jil Sander, Christian Dior, and, most recently, Calvin Klein until his sudden <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/all-you-need-to-know-about-raf-simons-exit-from-calvin-klein-2018">departure</a> in 2018.

As models encircled&nbsp;the curtained room bathed in yellow, a herd of black cameras were spiraled through the space in slow motion, no doubt an artistic comment on the COVID-19-affected fashion industry. Following the debut show, the duo held a question and answer series livestreamed <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/how-to-stream-attend-digital-fashion-week">online</a>, in which both designers responded to questions crowd sourced from social media.

As the segment ended, Simons and Prada answered the question of their own interpretation of the future of fashion. &ldquo;The more you are connected with reality&mdash;and with people&mdash;the more your job [as a designer] makes sense,&rdquo; said Prada. No doubt Spring/Summer 2021 marks the future of the brand, whetting the appetite of what&rsquo;s to come.
