OMA’s think-tank AMO designed the theatrical sci-fi set, which features a strip-lit runway illuminated in shades of neon blue, purple, pink, and white.

Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons’ latest menswear line ‘celebrates the idea of ‘working’ with garments riffing on blue-collar uniforms and wall-street staples in the same breath.

Twin Peaks alumni Kyle Mclaughlan opened with a denim-blue nylon boilersuit and printed turtleneck, with a navy wool overcoat. Actor Jeff Goldblum also made his catwalk debut, followed by actors Asa Butterfield, Ashton Sanders, Tom Mercier, Damson Idris, and Thomas Brodie-Sangster, strutting the runway in a wool overcoat with OTT fur trip.
