Prada Reignites Knee-Length Skirt Trend at Milan Fashion Week
Hollywood stars and fashion influencers gathered for the Prada Spring/Summer 2027 womenswear show, which prominently featured knee-length skirts in various styles.
Milan Fashion Week kicked off with Prada presenting a collection that emphasized the return of the knee-length skirt. The show, held on Tuesday, drew a notable audience of celebrities and fashion figures.
Actresses Naomi Watts, Emilia Clarke, Michelle Williams, Sadie Sink, and Molly Gordon were in attendance, as was Uma Thurman, accompanied by her daughter Maya Hawke. Model Alexa Chung and influencers Nara Smith and Chiara Ferragni also joined the gathering.
The collection itself showcased a variety of knee-length skirts, a silhouette that designer Miuccia Prada has frequently championed. Styles ranged from Nineties-inspired slip skirts to pleated versions in bold prints. Details on the skirts included brocade paneling, chiffon overlays, and sequin embroidery. The collection also featured Sixties prints, slingback shoes, and bowling bags, all of which are considered part of the brand's established aesthetic.
The focus on knee-length skirts was a dominant theme, with few trousers featured among the guests' attire. The presentation suggests a potential shift in fashion trends, with the high street expected to follow Prada's lead.
