Milan Fashion Week: JW Anderson’s perspective on global warming, Prada’s youthful optimism in a troubled world

Published

Milan Fashion Week: Through their designs, Milan designers subtly conveyed their concern about the current condition of unrest throughout the world. According to Miuccia Prada, she wished to convey hope. “I think it was the right thing to do, even in these difficult times,” she remarked backstage during the Prada event. She’s not advocating for escape. “I eventually make a constructive suggestion, but I don’t like escapism.”

The designers of Simon Cracker, a company founded 14 years ago to offer recycled designs in opposition to the dominant fashion system, stated that it would be “irresponsible” to not use the platform to remark on the situation of the world.

“A Matter of Principle” is the collection’s dedication to “the children victims of matters of principle.”

Following Sunday’s third day of mostly menswear previews for Spring/Summer 2025, here are some highlights:

Prada conveys hope
The concept of imperfection is explored in the Prada menswear line. All is not as it seems, though.

Hoodies, jackets, and shirts appear cropped rather than shrunken. Three-quarter sleeves are found on overcoats. It’s a worn-out, inexplicably inherited wardrobe. Creases are as much a part of the construction as a pleat. Wires hold pointed shirt collars high. Faux belts on trousers are low, sitting below the waist. Additionally, belts are used to adorn bags as if to seal them.

Playing with the idea of the real against the phoney, as co-creative director of the brand alongside Raf Simons, Miuccia Prada stated, “is very contemporary,” calling such elements “an invitation to take a closer look at the clothes.”

The designers noted that the vibrant green cardigan, the floral shirt, and the turquoise coat suggest a mother’s or grandmother’s wardrobe, breaking up the neutral colour scheme. To layer, arrange pieces with cutouts of inverted triangles aligned up.

Backstage, Simons remarked, “We wanted (the collection) to be already alive, as if clothes you already lived with.”

Models for Prada appeared from a plain white hut and descended a runway surrounded by a white picket fence to enter the showroom. The scene is described by the designers as both youthful and utopian.

According to Prada, “youth is the hope and the future here.” “At this time, we felt it was important to encourage young people to consider our world as well.”

Unravelling the world at Simon Cracker
A world full of knots that need to be untied, just like the ones keeping the most recent Simon Cracker line of largely repurposed clothing together.

Designers Filippo Biraghi and Simone Botte put together their collection of reused garment castoffs for Spring/Summer 2025. They used drawstrings and laces to make dresses out of knitwear, skirts out of tennis shirt sections, and jackets that were restructured. Every component is unique.

Through dying, the “nervous” colour palette of acid green, sea blue, violet, and black was created. Each material responded to the process differently.

Behind the scenes, Biraghi remarked, “It is a way of recounting what is happening in the world, without being too explicit.” “It would be reckless not to engage in politics at this time.”

The name of the 14-year-old brand is intended to suggest that there is a flaw or crack in the fashion system. Using abandoned or neglected clothing and deadstock fabrics—this time from the Italian sportswear brand Australian—they accept imperfection as a feature of their creations’ beauty.

Australian, which is becoming more and more popular with clubgoers, also produced a technological and black neon capsule collection of clothing for Simon Cracker, its first manufacturing line. The footwear was donated by Doc Martens, and the designers embellished it with costume jewellery, badges, and pins.

JW Anderson’s Adequate Rest
The soft and spongy clothing in JW Anderson’s warm weather collection for men and women cocoons the form, which is an odd decision given the planet’s growing temperatures. Real Sleep, the collection’s apparent motto on tees, jackets, and sweaters, might be interpreted as a guide to surviving in the real world.

The Northern Irish designer explained following the show that the humorous collection “played with this idea of miniature scale and maximum scale.” Large quilted jackets led the way, giving way to large cashmere balls filled with yarn, each in triplicate.

With intarsia windows and doors, Anderson’s small rendition of Georgian terraced residences and country cottages was displayed on the front of knitwear.

Sweatshirts with pillows seemed sturdy enough to break a fall. As if to say, “The world is too much,” large, colourful constructions like silken balloons were deflated and attached to coats. If that’s the case, find solace in a cheerful pint of Guinness; the Irish stout is highlighted in a capsule collection that features humorous pictures of a promotion for knitwear from the previous century.

Anderson claimed to be investigating “the idea of permissiveness with the clothing. This idea of what we do best is the storytelling.”

Celebrities’ haircare secrets are always a mystery; but we’ve got the scoop. Here are some tips from veteran actor Dimple Kapadia, known for her luscious hair.

Ever wondered what the secret to Dimple Kapadia’s ‘glossy and shiny’ locks is? You’re in luck as the Bollywood A-lister shared the haircare tips and tricks she’s picked up over the years in a 2021 interview with Vogue India, and they are pretty much the best hair care advice you will ever get. The best part? Dimple’s inexpensive haircare tips could help you achieve healthy, beautiful locks without breaking the bank.

‘Oil your hair and do not colour it’
Speaking about her ‘glossy and shiny’ hair, the actor credited the ‘habit of oiling’ that started in her childhood, and said, “Oiling goes a long, long way. I oil my hair overnight, then get a head massage with a homemade hair pack, which is a mixture of eggs (5 whites and a whole egg) and a banana. I leave it on for 10-30 minutes and then wash it through with lukewarm water… the habit of oiling was prevalent throughout my childhood, and it helped as I have always had very dry, thick and coarse hair. Without the amount of professional styling I’ve had over the years, it would not look so glossy and shiny.”

‘Onion juice is excellent for the hair’
Dimple, 67, added, “My secret hair oil recipe is a concoction of almond and sandalwood oil as a base, with geranium, rosemary and lavender essential oils. This is the legacy I’ll pass down to my grandchildren – oil your hair and do not colour it… onion juice is excellent for the hair but I think, the safer option is to use the onion extract oils you get now.”

Diet for healthy hair
Dimple’s healthy hair diet included fish that can provide essential nutrients for promoting hair growth and maintaining healthy locks. The actor said that she ‘ate a lot of fish growing up’ as her family lived in a coastal area, adding that ‘really helped’ her hair.

Dimple suggested that you ‘include lots of protein in your diet, eat balanced meals and include seeds and nuts’ to provide your hair with the essential nutrients it needs to stay healthy, strong, and beautiful.
