The PRPS 2010 autumn collection brings to the table a unique style from even more unique influences. For one, they claim Aztec culture as an inspiration, which isn't usually seen in North American menswear lines. Rather than being gaudy and super tribal, PRPS only uses cultural undertones to give it that mildly exotic feel.
Another reason the PRPS 2010 autumn collection isn't too over the top is that its Aztec influence is blended with a Western denim style, bringing the line a little closer to home.
