Miuccia Prada looked to Hollywood for inspiration as the Italian luxury label unveiled its Autumn-Winter 2022-23 collection on Sunday using 10 actors including Hollywood A-lister Jeff Goldblum to model the classical chic menswear, all the while bending some rules.

Among them were David Lynch favourite Kyle MacLachlan ('Twin Peaks'), Jeff&nbsp;Goldblum ('The Fly', 'Jurassic Park'), Asa Butterfield ('Sex Education') and&nbsp;Thomas Brodie-Sangster ('Bright Star').

Some seemed out of their element, despite their wealth of experience as actors. Prada said it wanted to use "real men, recognised figures... who offer a new facet of reality" as actors.

The collection mixes and matches sober coats and blazers in grey, black and blue with work outfits in fluorescent colours cut from leather or luxury cotton.

"Through these clothes, we stress that everything that a human being does is important," said 72-year-old Miuccia Prada, who heads the group her grandfather founded in 1913.

"Every aspect of reality can be elegant and dignified."

The men's fashion week, which runs through Tuesday, was blindsided by the emergence of the highly contagious Omicron variant of Covid, with many houses pulling out.

Giorgio Armani cancelled his show in Milan as well as his haute couture show in Paris, leading an exodus that saw the number of in-person events shrink from 23 to 16.&nbsp;

Eighteen brands opted for a purely virtual presence, while others presented their collections by appointment. "We have learned to live with the virus," Pascal Morand, head of France's Federation for Haute Couture and Fashion, told AFP.

"Digital enriches the physical, but it can't replace the emotion and sensory side of the runway shows."

Jeff Goldblum takes to catwalk for Prada in Milan

Italian fashion house Prada reworked wardrobe classics for its fall line at Milan Fashion Week on Thursday, with designers Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons saying they were inspired by the idea of change and transformation. 
 
In a video shared online as part of a virtual Milan Fashion Week, models strutted in layered outfits in an array of prints and colours as part of the autumn/winter 2021-2022 collection. 
 
Prada and Simons, who joined the brand as co-creative director last year, presented tight jacquard-knit bodysuits in mixed prints, which were made to appear as a second skin. Navy and grey pinstripe suits were reimagined as jackets with short scrunched sleeves worn with matching skirts with slits or ankle-length trousers.

Models, who walked between rooms with marble or fake fur floors, wore coats in bright colours, adorned in sparkling paillettes or with exaggerated sleeves. 
 
Outerwear included wraps in fake fur, re-nylon and sequins, and large loose bomber jackets. Dresses were loose and in mainly dark colours. 
For the evening there were black jumpsuits and long black dresses with printed collars. Colourful gloves had small zip purses on the front. 
"In this collection, we play with the idea of the classic - we subvert it, we transmute it," Prada said in a statement. 
 
"There are many more contrasts in this collection - retro and futuristic, embellished and minimal, sports and elegance - because we are combining them, hybridizing them, creating something that seems new," Simons added. 
 
Milan Fashion Week, which began on Wednesday and runs until March 1, is a virtual event this season due to COVID-19 restrictions. 
Major Italian fashion names such as Giorgio Armani, Dolce &amp; Gabbana and Valentino are sharing videos on a digital platform.

Prada reworks winter classics at Milan Fashion Week

Miuccia Prada went back to her trademark minimalist style for her first collection with Belgian designer Raf Simons, who joined the Italian fashion group as co-creative director in February. 
 
The pair's Spring/Summer 2021 women's show was streamed live on Thursday for Milan's fashion week, where most collections are being presented digitally and without audiences due to coronavirus social distancing rules. "It's a really strange situation," Prada said in a video after the show, where she and Simons answered questions from people around the world. 
 
"But we have the occasion to really show the clothes, we can't see the real people, the public, but at least we hope you can enjoy and see the clothes better." Models wore mostly black and white or pastel-coloured vests, trousers and long skirts in simple, monochrome designs which Prada said were inspired by the idea of uniforms. Many clothes had round-shaped holes cut out of the fabric. 
 
"Clothes are pared-back, refined, focused, without superfluous decoration: shell tops, straight pants, overcoats in industrial re-nylon," the brand said in a statement. Simons, 52, said he had never expected to be, one day, co-designing a collection with Miuccia Prada, but that he was "extremely happy" with the result. 
 
"Maybe it`s harder as you have more dialogue, and that can also impact on the timing, but all in all I find it easier," he said when asked what it was like to jointly create a collection. "Decision-making for me is strengthened when I know that Miuccia likes very much what I also like very much. Even if I am convinced, my decision is strengthened when I know that she too is convinced." 
 
After becoming one of Italy`s best-known fashion houses, Prada has struggled in recent years. 
A restructuring drive began to pay off in 2018 when sales returned to growth for the first time in four years thanks to a new strategy aimed at rejuvenating the label by renovating shops, launching new products and boosting online sales. 
 
But the Hong Kong-listed group has, like luxury rivals, been hit hard by the pandemic, which forced high-end houses to temporarily shut shops and idle manufacturing sites. Simons&nbsp;appointment, announced in February, marked the first time the Italian fashion house has hired an outsider to work with its head designer. He was most recently creative director at Calvin Klein and before that at Christian Dior and Jil Sander. 
 
Miuccia Prada, 71, said at the time the move was not intended to pave the way for a possible succession as the group`s top designer.

Prada returns to minimalist roots for first joint collection

Already essential, Miuccia Prada is trying a less-is-more aesthetic, also in support of a sustainable agenda. The Prada collection featured a mix of basics with staying power - simple suits, knit skirts and top combos - alongside more adorned pieces like beaded overcoats that can become heirlooms.
