Prada x Meta?

Sitting in the front row is “Meta Mind”, Mark Zuckerberg.

No surprise following intensive speculation over the collaboration of artificial intelligent “Smart Glasses” with Oakley and Prada.

It is a known fact that tech billionaires have contributed heavily to the arts in recent years, could this be the most forward thinking in fashion and technology yet??!! No solid details but we’ll be judging closely…

The original 90s cool girl… Carolyn Bessette

Carolyn Bessette Lives on….

through internet obsession

The new wardrobe everyone wants an item from, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. Her fashion choices have been revived through the hit television series, “Love Story”.

As of February 27th we now have 5 episodes of fashion inspiration, and four more weeks of monomaniacal fixation.

Each episode brings new “off duty” looks while us viewers are engrossed in the relationship that flourished between the two.

Social media becomes even more obsessed with Ms Bessette-Kennedy herself. It almost feels like a new wave of “The People’s Princess” or let me rephrase, “The People’s Muse”. Not only for her effortless attire but her confident persona, Carolyn is every clean girl's dream.

 
 

Bella Hadid walks the runway, displaying various outfits from Prada's Autumn/Winter Collection

PRADA Dominates

“Prada knows best and picks best”

The iconic fashion house ignites the beginning of FW26 by “peeling back the layers”, their runway show featured 60 looks with only 15 models. This kind of structure resembles traditional shows that have vanished from modern day womenswear, “Prada are going back to the basics”.

Bella Hadid made a particularly notable feature, missing from our runways since the Victoria Secrets Fashion show back in October 2025, providing us with 4 walks within one show!!! How did we get so lucky??!! Marking her shift back to fashion after her focus leaned towards activism, Hadid utilises her platform to speak on global issues and awareness.

Her reappearance feels less casual and rather groundbreaking!!

 

Kate Moss sensual close for Gucci…

As Milan takes its spot in our fashion week calendars, so does Kate Moss’s lower back. Her reappearance for Gucci channeled the late 90s nostalgia everybody and anybody is requesting lately, homage to her iconic Tom Ford era, providing the same sophisticated but sensual appeal. This minimal but subtle thong detail finish, was the final walk for the Gucci Show, alluding that Milan may have more surprises for us in the week to come??!!


As the week comes to an end, and the weekends transition, it is frankly obvious “fashion” is going back to its roots.

It’s elusive throwbacks, revived nostalgia and tech talk, Fashion is changing and so are its people.

Everything feels more ostentatious, nothing is by accident. Perhaps this is the reset that it needs…

I think so, what do you think??
