Through original pieces, period documents, and clothing, "The Gentleman – Men's Style and Jewelry" invites reflection on the cultural and symbolic significance of ornamentation, restoring historical and contemporary dignity to an often overlooked aspect of men's fashion.
Representative of historical and social events, the objects on display illustrate the evolution of style over the centuries, offering a cross-section of the transformations in taste, the social role, and the symbolic function of jewelry in constructing male identity, without overlooking its functional aspects.

Fondazione Prada presents “Dash”, a new multimedia project devised by Chinese artist Cao Fei for its Milan venue combining multiple languages ranging from photography to video installation, from virtual reality to documentary footage, and archival material, to trace a complex portrait of a global agricultural technological revolution and its inherent contradictions.

“Dash” unfolds from Cao Fei’s long-term research. Over the past three years, Cao Fei has immersed herself in farmlands across southern and northwestern China, as well as Southeast Asia, observing and interpreting the emergence of smart agriculture.
