The creative pair played with juxtapositions throughout the collection, incorporating dark wool skirts that revealed glimpses of a white or colorful silky layer beneath or in the back. The runway featured bomber jackets, coats reminiscent of 1950s silhouettes, and slim pencil skirts paired with form-fitting knits.

Simons highlighted the importance of understanding history and heritage, stating, “We strive to create something beautiful and we cannot talk about beauty without looking at the past.” This sentiment guided their exploration of a slim silhouette, showcased through buttoned-up long shirts tucked into floor-length skirts in soft pastel hues.
The collection exuded a romantic vibe, with sleeveless dresses in cream or pink adorned with floral embellishments and bows. Romantic details like ribbon belts added a whimsical touch to the overall aesthetic. Prada’s signature leather goods were prominently featured, with models carrying handbags suspended from straps on their lower arms. Military-inspired hats and small-framed sunglasses completed the looks.
