Collection Video: Prada A/W 21 Menswear

published on 17 January 2021

Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons called their Prada A/W 21 debut menswear collection Possible Feelings. Devised by Rem Koolhaas and AMO, the show’s ‘non-spaces’ consist of panes of marble, resin, plaster and faux fur.

Geometric-patterned jacquard knits and leathers are combined with re-nylon, bouclé tweeds and classic pinstripe wool suiting, in both traditional and unanticipated colours. Jacquard-knit bodysuits create a streamlined 'second skin,' denoting both protection and exposure. Single and double-breasted coats are constructed on rectilinear lines; bomber jackets are generous. Executed in leather and bouclé, lined in geometric jacquards, garments are sensual.

The materials used by Koolhaas for the Prada A/W 21 menswear show will be upcycled, finding new life through special product installations and pop-ups around the world. These materials will be donated to Meta, a circular economy project based in Milan, which offers sustainable solutions to waste disposal within ephemeral events by collecting and recovering materials for selling and rentals.
