Italian luxury fashion house Prada sparked online controversy after appointing singer-songwriter Saint Levant as its global ambassador, making him the first Palestinian to hold the role. However, it wasn't his appointment that triggered the debate, it was the pendant he wore

Italian luxury fashion house Prada has found itself in hot water after appointing Palestinian singer-songwriter Saint Levant as its global ambassador. But appointing him has not caused the problem. The accessory that he wore is the one. What triggered debate was Levant’s appearance at the brand’s Spring/Summer 2027 Menswear Show in Milan, where he was seen wearing a pendant shaped like historic Palestine. Levant flaunted the pendant in the video posted by the brand on their official social media handle, which many found as a political statement. The Palestine pendant sparks online debate For the event, the singer looked stylish in an all-black suit. But the highlight that caught everyone’s attention was Levant’s subtle nod to his roots: a map of Palestine pendant. The silver-colored pendant stood out against the black outfit. What drew further notice was that it outlines the borders of the region before the 1948 Nakba, meaning the pendant is shaped like a map of historic Palestine prior to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. This necklace is significant because it’s a symbol of Palestinian identity and heritage. As he walked out wearing the necklace, his picture went viral across social media. While pro-Palestine users praised his style, pro-Israel users criticised the brand. Also read: Meet Empire State Building climbers Angela Nikolau and Ivan Kuznetsov

<p>As soon as Prada shared a video of models walking the runway in what seemed to be a slicker, plain version of the popular Indian design, social media erupted with reactions. Most were amused, but some were outrage,d and many questioned the lack of cultural credit. &nbsp;</p><h2>Internet reacts: ‘Sarojini went international’<br>&nbsp;</h2><p>Celebrity stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania called out the Luxury brand as she shared a photo from the Prada show on Instagram and pointed out what was on everyone’s mind- these weren't just any designer sandals; they were "a pair of good old Kolhapuri chappals."<br>&nbsp;</p><p>Diet Sabya, meanwhile, shared a long post on how the West was now borrowing from Indian craftsmanship and giving it a label and putting an exorbitant price tag on it.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“All that embroidery, all that artisanal flex, all produced in India. Always has been,” they added.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>The internet, too, did not hold back as they called out Prada for stealing an idea and not giving due credit.&nbsp;</p><p><br>"How easily brands take away the OG identity and think it’s ok to do that… Guts" wrote a user while another hilariously pointed out, "Sarojini went international."&nbsp;</p><p><br>Another user expressed, "What's new? Take something from us and rebrand them and call it avant garde. I see exploitation.&nbsp;🙃"</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One wrote, “These joggers are at every street vendor in Delhi’s Lajpat, Sarojini, Karol Bagh, etc. markets&nbsp;😮‍💨 for ₹150-300&nbsp;🥲.”</p><p><br>While fashion always reinvents, Prada’s new design seems to be slightly tone deaf without the label giving appropriate credit to Indian craftsmen.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Originating in Kolhapur, Maharashtra, these leather one-toe slippers have been part of Indian traditional wear for time immemorial. The luxury brand seems to have taken inspiration, rebranded it for the West.

<p>Prada presented an eclectic "superhero" collection for Milan Fashion Week Thursday heavy on S&amp;M steel rings and mirrored metallics -- with ribbed leggings and bodysuits imparting a cosy, grungy touch.</p>

<p>The Spring/Summer 2025 women's catwalk show from artistic director team Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons came as Prada enjoys outlier status in the luxury industry, having posted strong growth in the first half of the year even as its rivals see their sales slump.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Italian brand's collection presented Thursday was an eclectic fashion romp down memory lane, teasing 1990's grunge looks with sadomasochism paraphernalia, a rainbow of coloured leggings, and even a nod to the space age mirrored looks of 1960s French designer Andre Courreges.<br />
<br />
"There is a plurality of Prada, elements from different eras coexisting simultaneously to challenge any theory of chronology, creating impossible contradictions, points of difference," said the brand in its show notes, citing "the notion of the superhero" as "the centrality of the individual".</p>

<p>Backstage, the designers broke it down, explaining they wanted to explore all ofPrada's past references, mixing up "the past, the present, the cool, the sexy, the serious..."</p>

<p>There were leather belts with thick steel rings that held up, garter style, low-slung pleated skirts -- paired with barely-there bandeau tops -- while the same steel hardware adorned a black shift dress, clinking as the model sauntered down the runway.&nbsp;</p>

<p>An oversized black sweater dress was adorned with long beige fringe at the knee and bold stripes at the chest, while a black transparent dress with exaggerated ruffled sleeves covered a green bodysuit worn with witchy black pumps.</p>

<p>Among its most daring looks was a lightweight black dress covered in feathers jutting out from the body, paired with a neon orange anorak.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But Prada showcased its refined side as well with a stunning buttercup coat dress with a shawl collar and three-quarter sleeves worn over an electric violet ribbed bodysuit, or a 60's-inspired simple black dress with ivory bands at the waist and short sleeves.</p>

<p>The '60s again made a bold appearance with bright metallic dresses in fabric encrusted with mirrors. Falling halfway down the shin, one space age look was paired with a canary yellow windbreaker and an oversized straw visor -- with no top -- encircling the head.</p>

<p><strong>- Deconstruction -</strong><br />
<br />
Prada continues to be a cult brand, and one of the most sought-after in the industry, ranking third in the "hottest brands" index of Lyst, the fashion search engine, directly behind its Miu Miu brand and Loewe in first place.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In July, Prada company reported 17 percent revenue growth in its first half of the year on a constant currency basis.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Growth of 93 percent at Miu Miu gave a boost to six percent rise in sales from Prada -- making the company an outlier among its luxury fashion rivals who are battling falling sales.</p>

<p>"Prada's strength is to have always remained faithful to its DNA, provoking a real cult while remaining discreet," said Antonio Bandini Conti, a designer and coordinator of haute couture at Milan's European Institute of Design.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Miuccia Prada, who has been the brand's creative director since 1978, was interested in "the wardrobe of the bourgeois woman...she began to deconstruct it, to destructure it," he said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She introduced elements that jar, or look like a mistake, whether a visible seam or torn collar, "all while maintaining divine proportions and a refined taste," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"By staying the course, it has built a distinctive identity and built a loyal customer base," said Conti.</p>

Prada's Milan 'superheros' are nod to brand's eclectic past

<p>Don’t call them nostalgic, the bows and aprons, silken slips and hats that filled the Prada runway. Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons recovered elements of a woman’s wardrobe history and reconstituted them into something “modern.”</p>

<p>“It’s a history of women,” Prada told reporters backstage at the fall-winter 2024-25 preview show on Thursday. This act of reinventing items fished from deep inside the closet “frees them from their cage,” Prada said, giving them new meaning.</p>

<p>The looks are modular. Woollen aprons, facing front or back, partially obscure slip skirts, closing with bows or floral appliques — the silken touches defy the male silhouette. The skirt combos are paired with an accompanying jacket with a silken back panel, or twinsets in bold colour combinations, royal red and purple, yesteryear olive and pink.</p>

<p>Shift dresses are covered in the front with wispy, monochrome tabs that flutter with each step. Masculine elements include skirts cuffed at the hem and Varsity letter jacket emblazoned with a “P” for wannabe athletes that never made the cut. Cocktail dresses feature big bows and a fur collar.</p>

<p>The colour palette is mostly dark neutral, punctuated by colourful hats in aubergine or turquoise that elongate the form. In velvet they have the feeling of a Beehive, covered with feathers of a mod 1960s brushed do. The Prada Cleo bag has an oversized shoulder strap. Bags also fasten to the wrist with a leather strap.</p>

<p>“I always choose to work with pieces from history because for me history teaches us everything, in every field from politics to fashion to art. Anything we are comes from our past,” Prada said.</p>

<p>The show, she said, was meant as a gesture of “goodness,” something needed as an antidote to aggression, “especially in these times.” In that vein, models walked with their hands clutching their breasts, in a protective gesture.</p>

<p>“Fashion is also about love,” Simons added. “The love of beauty, the love of history.”</p>

<p>Emma Watson, Tracy Ellis Ross and Gwendoline Christie took front-row seats in the Prada showroom, perched above a plexiglass runway covering scattered fall leaves.</p>

Between the office and nature for Prada's winter menswear

The Prada spring summer 2024 menswear collection is fluid for Milan Fashion Week. This year's highlights of Milan Fashion Week include an everyday fluid collection for menswear. As the models walked the runway, green foam piles gathered on the metallic grade Runway.

Milan Fashion Week | Prada's Theme: Liberate, not constrict

Do you have any of these iconic, timeless 'it' bags?

<p>The Milan menswear runway was full of spare looks for next fall and winter as if the fashion world is taking a deep breath, to see what happens next. The colour of the season: Black. The silhouette of the season: slim or relaxed, but mostly tailored. Bags: Utilitarian. Shoes: Oversized and sole gripping. Still, all of this utility was punctuated with romantic, feminine and even sexy gestures.</p>

<p>Here are some highlights from the third day of mostly menswear previews for fall-winter 2023, as many big brands seemed to be hitting the reset button:</p>

<p><strong>PRADA’S RETRO-FUTURISM</strong></p>

<p>The ceiling on the darkened Prada showroom rose to reveal industrial chandeliers as the first looks appeared on the runway: tailored, slightly blocky suit jackets with sharp, wing-like collars that flapped gently with each step, secured and cushioned by just a wisp of colourful knitwear.</p>

<p>The collars, reminiscent of the 1930s or ’70s and in retro geometric prints, gave a romantic touch to an otherwise spare and cleansing collection by co-creative directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons.</p>

<p>“There is no space for useless creativity,” Prada summed up backstage.</p>

<p>The sharp collars, which appeared also on cardigans, are detachable, giving garments a longer life, and utility. On the runway, they were sexily styled without shirts.</p>

<p>The pair continued their exploration of uniforms, the sort that exemplifies the value of working and not projecting authority. In that vein, suede tunics with matching overcoats recalled an artisan’s apron, worn with a shirt and tie to emphasize the virtue of work, and over the season’s slim trousers.</p>

<p>The clean looks and minimalist tailoring had an intentional retro-futuristic feel, that Simons defined as “very Prada, in my opinion.”</p>

<p>Puffer coats had a rotund shape. Quilted T-shirts kept the torso warm under overcoats. Shoes were thick-soled lace-ups with raised piping. Bags were slim document or computer bags, with a thermos slot.</p>

<p>Suiting was mostly black or grey, with separates providing colour: trousers in red or green, cerulean blazers, and yellow and pink cardigans.</p>

<p>Even the venue at the Fondazione Prada was stripped of artifice, down to the concrete floors and walls and ceiling, which dropped back down as the models left the runway.</p>

<p>Outside, hundreds of screaming K-Pop fans greeted the Enhypen band as they arrived for the show, and a few were rewarded with selfies afterwards.</p>

<p><strong>SIMON CRACKER PAYS TRIBUTE TO VIVIENNE WESTWOOD</strong></p>

<p>The designers behind the Simon Cracker brand paid tribute to Vivienne Westwood’s legacy during a runway show presenting their latest collection of upcycled garments.</p>

<p>“We are here thanks to her. She was the first to make garments from upcycling,” said Filippo Biraghi, who founded Simon Cracker with Simone Botte in 2010.</p>

<p>“We studied her, we wore her, we lived her and we feel allied,″ Biraghi said of the British designer who died last month at 81. “She used fashion to protest, as a language of protest, for her entire history.”</p>

<p>Following in Westwood’s upcycling footsteps, the designers collect unclaimed garments from drycleaners and textile remnants from producers to make their unique creations.</p>

<p>In this punk-inspired collection, each garment is one-of-a-kind, promoting nonconformity. Caps served as epaulettes on jacket shoulders; a mini-skirt was fashioned from tiered ruffles in the front and netting in the back; handmade blankets became overcoats. Knitwear was made from recovered yarn in collaboration with designer Gaia Segattini.</p>

<p>In the spirit of Westwood, the show closed with a model swathed in a tulle garment with the words: “Demand the Impossible,” emblazoned on the front. The garment was a collaboration with Jamie Reid, the art director of the Sex Pistols, who donated clothes from his “Ragged Kingdom brand,″ for the final looks.</p>

<p>For the finale, all the models wore photos of Westwood around their necks. Biraghi, who wore a T-shirt picturing a joyful Westwood on the front, turned to reveal another image of her scowling on the back.</p>

<p>The designers said their messaging, one that has been with them since the brand’s inception, has grown more urgent, citing the danger to the planet and “the system’s mockery.”</p>

<p>“There is something wrong if you are not pissed off today,” Biraghi said.</p>

<p><strong>CHARLES JEFFREY LOVERBOY’S IMAGINED WORLDS</strong></p>

<p>Charles Jeffrey Loverboy, the label of the self-proclaimed club kid and Scottish-born designer Charles Jeffrey, brought joy to the Milan runway with fanciful storytelling through knitwear, kilting and prints.</p>

<p>Jeffrey presented his “Engine Room” collection through three subcultures in a mythical floating city: workers, whose toil keeps the city aloft; posers, or former workers who now bask in luxury; and snakes, aka, the media. While other brands hewed toward the minimal, Jeffrey went maximal, with a focus on sartorial details and an explosion of colour.</p>

<p>The workers were clothed in grey, black and white, faces smudged, with starry prints and clawed footwear. Posers burst with colour, including graphic prints from the archives of the Scottish artist and playwright John Byrne, metallic accents and endearing knitwear with kwai detailing like hoods with ears. The snakes had a Goth edge, dark garments giving way to newsprint prints against a black-white-and-red (read) palette.</p>

<p>Jeffrey called the collection “a celebration of Scotland, workers and Renaissance people.”</p>

Knitwear was made from recovered yarn in collaboration with designer Gaia Segattini. In the spirit of Westwood, the show closed with a model swathed in a tulle garment with the words: “Demand the Impossible,” emblazoned on the front. The garment was a collaboration with Jamie Reid, the art director of the Sex Pistols, who donated clothes from his “Ragged Kingdom brand,″ for the final looks. For the finale, all the models wore photos of Westwood around their necks. Biraghi, who wore a T-shirt picturing a joyful Westwood on the front, turned to reveal another image of her scowling on the back. The designers said their messaging, one that has been with them since the brand’s inception, has grown more urgent, citing the danger to the planet and “the system’s mockery.” “There is something wrong if you are not pissed off today,” Biraghi said. CHARLES JEFFREY LOVERBOY’S IMAGINED WORLDS Charles Jeffrey Loverboy, the label of the self-proclaimed club kid and Scottish-born designer Charles Jeffrey, brought joy to the Milan runway with fanciful storytelling through knitwear, kilting and prints. Jeffrey presented his “Engine Room” collection through three subcultures in a mythical floating city: workers, whose toil keeps the city aloft; posers, or former workers who now bask in luxury; and snakes, aka, the media. While other brands hewed toward the minimal, Jeffrey went maximal, with a focus on sartorial details and an explosion of colour. The workers were clothed in grey, black and white, faces smudged, with starry prints and clawed footwear. Posers burst with colour, including graphic prints from the archives of the Scottish artist and playwright John Byrne, metallic accents and endearing knitwear with kwai detailing like hoods with ears. The snakes had a Goth edge, dark garments giving way to newsprint prints against a black-white-and-red (read) palette. Jeffrey called the collection “a celebration of Scotland, workers and Renaissance people.”

Prada offers spare, cleansing looks at Milan Fashion Week

<p>Global brands including Prada and Remy Martin have cut ties with Chinese superstar Li Yifeng, after the actor was detained for soliciting sex workers.</p>

<p>Li becomes the latest in a line of artists to find themselves in legal trouble recently, as the government cracks down on China's entertainment industry, stepping up efforts to rein in what it calls "chaotic fan culture" and celebrity excess.</p>

<p>State media said Li, 35, had recently been detained and charged by police in Beijing for "soliciting prostitution on multiple occasions", and had allegedly confessed.</p>

<p>Global and local brands including luxury fashion house Prada, watchmaker Panerai and French cognac maker Remy Martin issued statements on Sunday saying they had dropped Li as their brand ambassador following the scandal.</p>

<p>The actor, who played revolutionary leader Mao Zedong in a 2021 biopic to mark the centenary of the Chinese Communist Party, is hugely popular, with more than 60 million followers on China's Twitter-like platform Weibo.</p>

<p>Only last month, he was on the catwalk in Beijing showcasing Prada's fall 2022 collection.</p>

<p>A spate of scandals in recent months have taken down China's biggest entertainers including singer Kris Wu, who was arrested on suspicion of rape last August.</p>

Luxury brands drop Chinese star held for hiring sex workers

<p>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.</p>

<p>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').</p>

Jeff Goldblum takes to catwalk for Prada in Milan

<p>Prada deconstructed dresses at Milan Fashion Week on Friday, using elements including trains and corsets in a spring collection that explored seduction through clothes.<br />
<br />
Co-creative directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, who joined the Milan-based, Hong Kong-listed luxury group last year, added silk trains on miniskirts, put corset lacing on the front of jackets and mimicked brassiere cups on knitwear.</p>

<br />
The spring/summer 2022 collection, called "Seduction, stripped down," also featured long back-baring dresses in pink, lime and tangerine that was cinched at the waist.<br />
<br />
Short dresses were also slit behind and had trains while biker jackets were given a worn look and paired with the brightly coloured miniskirts.<br />
"We thought of words like elegant - but this feels so old-fashioned. Really, it’s about a language of seduction that always leads back to the body," Prada said in a statement.<br />
<br />
"Using these ideas, these references to historical pieces, this collection is an investigation of what they mean today, what seduction means."<br />
For accessories, there were belted armbands and pointy slingback shoes in bright colours.</p>

Like New York and London, Milan Fashion Week is hosting both in-person shows and digital presentations this season following virtual editions in February due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<br />

"I strongly disagree with the idea of a return to ‘normal’ - we must draw lessons from this moment. We have learned that we, in fashion, engage with a much wider world," Prada said.</p>

Prada held simultaneous shows in Milan and Shanghai, live streaming both. "Doing these shows simultaneously demonstrates a new possibility: that a Prada show can happen anywhere," Simons said. "It’s about sharing - not just sharing imagery, not just sharing through technology but sharing a physical event."<br />
<br />
Singer Dua Lipa opened and closed the Versace show, which built on the fashion`s house`s printed silk scarf, or foulard.<br />
<br />
Designer Donatella Versace transformed the scarf into lining for dress slits and asymmetric hems, jacket sleeves, shirts, trouser flares and knotted headscarves.<br />
<br />
The line featured latex dresses and shiny miniskirts in neon colours. Some designs bore large safety pins. For men, there was casual wear, loose suits and relaxed printed shirts.<br />

"The foulard is a fundamental component of Versace`s heritage and character," Versace said in show notes. "...This season (it) turns everything on its head, it is no longer fluid or dreamy, the scarf is provocative, sexy, wound tight."</p>
