This exhibition is part of Prada’s Reporter initiative, aiming to foster connections between fashion and various creative realms. As visitors wander through the space, they’ll encounter a reportage-inspired aesthetic, complete with oversized decorative silver cameras and impeccably dressed mannequins.
The mannequins model the photojournalism-themed capsule collection, featuring multi-pocketed Re-Nylon vests and comfortably loose-fitting trousers.
Witness to Nature will continue its display until November 6, inviting visitors to explore the intersection of fashion and diverse artistic expressions.
