Prada wants to change the conversation away from aggression, toward gentleness
MILAN (AP) — With global tensions escalating, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons want to change the conversation to something gentle, calm and nice with their menswear collection for next summer, previewed during Milan Fashion Week on Sunday. 'We tried to make a change of tone, from powerful to gentle, calm,'' Prada said after the show. 'Basically, the opposite of aggression, power, nastiness.'' 'Sometimes it is good to reflect, and be a bit more calm,'' added Simons, her co-creative director. Innocence reimagined In that vein, the pair's latest menswear collection recalled childish innocence, opening with short shorts that were more precisely elasticized briefs, with pleated pockets, worn with a sturdy, sure-footed shoe and black sock and a crisp white buttoned-down shirt with a naive print of a sun and waves. These panty-shorts were paired also with leather coats, long cotton shirts or fringed knitwear that give men access to the pant-less look already embraced by some female celebrities. Freedom in form and color A more serious double-breasted suit was worn with the sleeves pushed up in a get-to-work gesture layered over track jackets. Track pants with a side stripe or straight, cropped cotton trousers otherwise anchored the looks with leather jackets, car coats or knitwear. Urban looks ensembles paired with backpacks and flip-flops, on the verge of the getaway. Light, summer looks were finished with loafers. Nothing was completely office, and nothing was completely beach. The silhouette was deliberately unstructured, and the color palette broad and undefined. Gray, black, khaki and navy were offset by red, sky blue, lime green and turquoise and purple, monochromes mixing casually, as if to say, any way you want. 'We wanted everything to be human in its dimension, to be light and fresh and colorful,'' Simons said. Playful, with a shadow There was humor, even whimsy, in bright cone-shaped woven raffia hats that recalled a shuttlecock, some with strands of raffia feathering over the eyes as if a shade. In the spirit of change, the showroom was left deliberately raw, with concrete and orange beams exposed and sunlight streaming through the high windows. Childlike daisy-shaped rugs were the only decoration. 'We are always very aware of that,'' Prada said. 'Good luck to everyone.'' Celeb frenzy Outside the Prada Foundation showroom, hundreds of fans screamed for the arrival of Asian pop group TransfOrmProject, South Korean actor Lee Do-hyun and Japanese singer Sana. Also on hand were English-Ghanaian rapper Stormzy, NBA star Anthony Edwards and actors Benedict Cumberbatch and Harris Dickinson.

‘Hamilton' Rockets Up The Charts After Its Tony Awards Reunion
Following a Tony Awards medley, Hamilton surges to No. 11 on the Top Streaming Albums chart — its ... More highest placement ever on that Billboard ranking. NEW YORK - JUNE 8: The original Broadway cast of "Hamilton" performs at THE 78TH ANNUAL TONY AWARDS, live from the legendary Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday, June 8 (8:00-11:00 PM, LIVE ET/5:00-8:00 PM, LIVE PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+. (Photo by Michele CroweCBS via Getty Images) Hamilton swept the Tony Awards almost a decade ago in June 2016. The historic – and historical – musical entered the evening with 16 nominations and claimed 11 of those prizes. In the years since, its original Broadway cast recording has remained one of the most successful of all time. It rarely disappears from the Billboard charts, as Americans continue to love its unique blend of Broadway melodies and storytelling with hip-hop sensibilities. This week, Hamilton climbs higher than ever on one tally. Thanks to a high-profile performance that reignited interest in the set, the Hamilton original cast recording surges on streaming platforms. Hamilton Jumps to a New Chart Peak The Hamilton original Broadway cast recording rockets from No. 29 to No. 11 on the Top Streaming Albums chart this frame. That position marks a new high point on Billboard's list of the most successful full-lengths and EPs on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music for the title, as it now appears closer to the top 10 than ever before. It's extremely rare for any Broadway-related album to perform well enough on streaming sites to reach the Top Streaming Albums tally — let alone come within one spot of the loftiest region – and Hamilton stands alone in this respect. Hamilton's Cast Reunion at the Tony Awards Consumption of the Hamilton cast recording exploded following it being highlighted via a medley of songs performed during the 2025 Tony Awards. Many of the show's original cast members, including Jonathan Groff, Anthony Ramos, Daveed Diggs, Leslie Odom Jr., and of course Lin-Manuel Miranda, returned to the ceremony to blend eight tracks from the album, and the televised performance clearly reminded Americans of how much they love Hamilton. Hamilton's Album Rises 50% in Consumption According to Luminate, during the past tracking period, Hamilton shifted 27,500 equivalent units, between streaming activity and pure purchases. That's a jump of more than 51% from the previous period, when it managed 18,000 units. A little less than 1,000 of those were actual sales, which helps to explain how the musical was able to soar so high on the Top Streaming Albums tally. Hamilton Lives Inside the Top 10 Hamilton now lives inside the top 10 on half of all the Billboard rankings it appears on this week. The Miranda-powered project ascends one spot to No. 3 on the Top Rap Albums list and holds steady at No. 1 — yet again — on the Cast Albums ranking, where it is almost always in charge.
