Department stores partnering with designer brands for temporary clothing displays is nothing new, as last week London, England saw Harrods hosting a Dior pop-up -- in a similar vein, Selfridges Prada pop-up is open to the public, offering a selection of the fashion house's regenerated nylon pieces.
Launching in 2019, Prada's Re-Nylon collection sustainably sources its materials from ocean waste. The line consists of numerous must-have designer items like backpacks, ponchos, dresses, and more. This pop-up speaks to the brand's desire to be seen as more conscious, especially as consumers have been demanding for larger corporations and brands to take responsibility for their environmental footprint.
Selfridges' Prada pop-up is now open to the public at Selfridges' Corner Shop.
