Here, designers Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons reflect on their unexpected, creative partnership. Plus, see a new crop of acting stars wear the fruits of the duo's creative dialogue—including Emma Corrin, Wunmi Mosaku, Jessie Mei Li, and Simone Ashley
“I like only a very small number of brands, and Prada is one of the few that I would wear,” says Simons, who earlier in his career notoriously felt awkward about wearing his own label, choosing a diet of Prada and Helmut Lang instead. Then, in 2005, Mrs. Prada and her husband, Prada Group CEO Patrizio Bertelli, appointed Simons to be creative director at Jil Sander.“That’s something to never forget,” Simons says.
“It was very daring, this collaboration,” says Koolhaas over Zoom. “It fits completely with Prada’s interest in experimentation, and it’s still surprising: There is not yet a feeling of routine—or anything like it—so it feels charged with potential.” Linda Loppa, who taught Simons during the 25 years when she headed up the fashion department at Antwerp’s prestigious Royal Academy of Fine Arts, regards her former student’s venture with Prada as almost inevitable.“Hopefully I’ll find myself in some interesting and unexpected places and situations,” Li says of her burgeoning career. “I like not knowing what’s coming my way.” Prada coat and turtleneck.
