"You talk about the world now, said Prada or you talk about fashion The two things together, in this moment, are difficult."
"We ask ourselves that question every day. [We might not answer it but] the fact that we [ask the] question is important. You cannot be in an ivory tower and not look around."
"In the past, people did react to world situations with the way they dressed, if you go to the 60s or 70s and further back. Now, it's not directly a reaction [but] we feel like we should not sit still, we want to try."
"We don't want the American corporate kind of masculine power, said Simons. No, make it youthful."
Prada's menswear collection combined disparate elements and deconstructed tailoring to reflect a volatile present moment. The designers described the collection as uncomfortable, pairing unexpected layers like a red sou'wester over a trenchcoat and a yellow scoop-neck jumper with exposed shirt cuffs. Styling included practical touches such as wallets in back pockets and brightly coloured shoelaces. Raf Simons aimed to portray a youthful masculinity and to reject American corporate masculine power. The designers emphasized continual questioning of the designer's role, the need to look beyond an ivory tower, and a desire to transform what to keep for the future.
