Prada and MR PORTER joined forces once again to deliver an exclusive collection centered around the theme of bowling. The luxury label and online retailer crafted a 32-piece capsule together, comprised of both apparel and footwear. The general eras that the two labels draw an influence from are the 50s through the 80s due to the popularity of bowling during these times.
The new capsule by Prada and MR PORTER features a selection of collared shirts adorned with Hawaiian prints, madras, gingham checkers, and pop-cartoon graphics. There is also an expansive range of polo shirts, blouson jackets, blazers crafted with mohair wool, mid-century style cardigans, flat front trousers, knit t-shirts with stripes and printed t-shirts that sport the Prada bowling logo. The offered footwear includes creepers, loafers and cap-toe Derbies and sneakers constructed with nubuck and deerskin.
