Amanda Gorman was dressed fully in Prada for her starring role during the inauguration ceremony of the American president Joe Biden. The poet and activist – the youngest ever winner of the prestigious National Youth Poet Laureate award – she played her poem The Hill We Climb, written the day after the assault on Capitol Hill; in this occasion Amanda Gorman wore a yellow natté coat from the Fall/Winter 2020 collection, paired with the now iconic red satin headband. The link between Prada and the American poet dates back to 2019: mutual respect led Prada to choose her as the ‘Prada Reporter’ for the Prada Re-Nylon project and as a speaker at the conference Shaping a Sustainable Future Society.
