Luxury powerhouse Prada have joined forces with Mr Porter
After five years, Mr Porter has paired up with Prada
Words: Jonathan Wells
It was only a matter of time before one of the biggest names in online fashion retail paired up with one of the biggest names in menswear. And now, after five strong years, online shopping site Mr Porter have joined forces with iconic Milanese brand Prada to stock an edited selection of the designer’s runway, mainline and Linea Rossa collections.
Prada was founded in Milan in 1913 and opened officially as a leather goods shop, before moving quickly up the ranks as the official leather supplier to the Italian royal household. The now hugely popular and unique brand is now fronted by Miuccia Prada, who has been praised for her individual and forward-thinking approach to fashion design.
The brand launched yesterday on Mr Porter with a collection of 74 pieces, and you can expect more to launch throughout the season. Pieces include tailored favourites – perfect for gentlemen, technical sportswear and patterned shirting, and Mr Porter have captured the essence of the Italian brand with this limited, but diverse, selection. From shearling outerwear to luxury casual wear, Prada’s most innovative and striking designs are represented on-site.
Mr Porter have also launched a select range of Prada’s signature accessories and footwear, with a particular focus on the brand’s famous Saffiano leather and nylon mix pieces. Pocket squares, backpacks and classic hard shoes also make an appearance in the Mr Porter Prada collection.
Here’s our pick of the best pieces:
