Designed by Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons for the Spring/Summer 2023 menswear collection, this overshirt is a masterclass in modern tailoring. As seen in Look 35 of the official runway show, this piece reimagines classic gingham through a high-fashion lens, stripping away the "picnic" associations in favor of sharp, architectural lines.
The garment functions as a versatile hybrid—bridging the gap between a lightweight jacket and a structured shirt. It features a bold red and white gingham pattern executed in premium high-thread-count cotton, finished with a distinct double-button "tab" collar and a silver-tone industrial zip. The elasticized hem provides a subtle "blouson" silhouette, a signature Raf Simons design element that adds volume while maintaining a clean, cropped profile.
