Prada is reevaluating priorities for the spring 2024 season, doing away with the “invented narratives and advertised lifestyles” of modern times and focusing instead simply on the clothes—and the use of runway shows as living processions. The models of the spring presentation reappear, this time in portraits by Willy Vanderperre. Simple yet effective, the images display the models in photos that could have been taken moments after they stepped off the catwalk. And while individually, each one features a new face and design, together they create a larger body of work, encapsulating the collective nature of fashion.
Elsewhere, for the men’s collection, the female models are replaced by male actors, specifically Harris Dickinson, Kelvin Harrison Jr., and Troye Sivan. Not in character this time, the men portray themselves—albeit taller, well-dressed versions of themselves.
