Prada Goes Wild (West)
There were quite a few stars at Prada's Fall/Winter 2025 menswear presentation. Troye Sivan, Soohyun Kim, and Sana were there, dressed in their best Prada threads for the big day during Milan Fashion Week. Babygirl's Harris Dickinson also attended in an all-black ensemble which included a textured leather coat. Got milk, anyone?
But perhaps the biggest stars of the show were the actual Prada pieces on the runway. Prada FW25 was another delicious fashion feast served by the Italian luxury, featuring fab furs, scrumptious leather accessories, and — wait for it — cowboy boots!
That's right. The Devil may wear Prada, but so do the cowboys. Prada's FW25 collection offered up a plethora of yeehaw-worthy steppers, crafted with intentional staining and scuffs and dramatically curved toes (almost like those "witches boots" from the SS23 show).
The Prada cowboy boots appeared in a range of colors and patterns, from grandma-worthy florals to even bolder neon hues. Some even came with Mary Jane tooling, making me do some "-core" math (cowboycore + girlcore, to be specific).
Prada also listened to its animal instincts for FW25, showcasing several fur pieces like hairy-trimmed coats and wooly hoods. At the same time, full-fledge fur tops were layered underneath classic blazers and crisp coach jackets for tasteful textural contrast.
Other stylish highlights included basketball earrings, the usual crazy-cool Prada eyewear, and many leather goods. Indeed, Prada served up everything from beautifully aged and buttery handbags to full creamy suits.
Prada FW25 also advanced the brand's streak for nice show sets. This time, the brand turned vintage-style carpeting into a catwalk while industrial piping connected over guests' heads (hence the cutout Prada pipe invites). It was yet again the work of AMO, who has been behind Prada's beautiful runway setups for the last 25 years. Yes, you can thank AMO for Prada's slime walls, too.
After Prada's raw hides and wildly fun cowboy boots, I can see that fashion's western obsessions are indeed still kickin'.
