PHOTOS: Virtual catwalk for Prada during Milan Fashion Week

Never before had Miuccia Prada seen so many people at one of her fashion shows. Prada, the top Italian fashion brand, known for its subdued, darkly hued garments, shoes and handbags, is one of many presenting virtual fashion shows this season in Milan, as coronavirus cases continue to rise throughout Europe. The spring/summer 2021 collection was the debut Prada show for Raf Simons, the Belgian designer tapped as Prada's co-creative director in February. "Now we are with so many more people, and that's new, at least for me," said Prada on Thursday, following her digital show on the second day of Milan Fashion Week.
