Milan Men’s Fashion Week: Jeff Goldblum presented Prada’s autumn/winter 2022 menswear collection with Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Louis Partridge, Kyle MacLachlan and more celebrities
- The luxury fashion brand’s autumn/winter 2022-23 men’s collection is the latest stylish offering from Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons’ two-year collaboration
- The maison offered the boiler suit as a ‘new normal’, WFH-friendly office wear alternative, while Dhruv Kapoor and Justin Gall’s designs expressed opposite reactions to the pandemic
Jeff Goldblum infused Milan Fashion Week with some levity on Sunday, January 16, as he shimmied down the Prada runway in a dark overcoat that cast a dramatic silhouette.
“We were thinking about meaningful fashion, pieces that make sense,” Prada said in show notes. “Clothes that make people feel important, and that are therefore, in themselves, important, not something to discard.”
Kyle MacLachlan and Goldblum respectively opened and closed the runway show that featured eight other actors, chosen by the designers to represent “real men, recognised figures” enhancing reality.
Both wore long overcoats. Goldblum’s was set off dramatically with furry trim, while MacLachlan’s was contrasted with shimmering pants and shirt in light blue. Closing the show, Goldblum emerged hilariously from a purple-lit tunnel, as if surprised to find himself on a runway, then sashayed merrily along.
Guests at the Fondazione Prada’s exhibition space were seated in well-spaced velvet-covered theatre seats.
Outerwear and work clothes formed the backbone of the collection – sturdy, durable pieces. Statement pieces like long overcoats were trimmed in technical mohair, thick along the hem, and ringing the upper arms. At times, shoulders were accentuated, and a belt pulled tight at the waist for maximum form.
