Prada x MR PORTER reunited for a bowling-themed capsule collection

Rooted in nostalgia: Exclusive Bowling-Themed Capsule launched by Prada x MR PORTER.

1950s an 1980s, two eras of bowling popularity, serve as a source of inspiration for a bowling-themed capsule collection announced by Italian luxury fashion house Prada and luxury menswear online retailer Mr. Porter.

Debuting on MR PORTER on the 25th of April, the 32-piece capsule collection is anchored in ready-to wear and shoes. It draws from eras of bowling popularity – the 1950s and 1980s – and features camp-collar shirts in Hawaiian and pop-cartoon prints and madras and gingham checks, mid-century-style block-panelled stripe cardigans and stripe knit T-shirts, blouson jackets in satin and suede and two printed Tshirts with exclusive PRADA bowling logos, both referencing the eras of inspiration.

Pleated and flat-front trousers, polo shirts and a mohair bi-colour wool blazer complete the ready-to-wear offering. Loafers, creeper and cap-toe Derbies and cap-toe sneakers in nubuck and deer skin make up the exclusive offering of Prada shoes.

“We are incredibly proud to be working with Prada on this special project and to be the first men’s online retailer to partner on an exclusive collection. The retro themes of 1950s and 1980s menswear were an effortless inspiration for the campaign and content, and allowed us to easily meld the worlds of Mr Porter and Prada,” said Toby Bateman, Managing Director, MR PORTER.

“We are extremely pleased to be part of this exclusive project in collaboration with MR PORTER that we consider being the perfect partner to communicate the values of the brand. Prada’s DNA is in fact about creating products which are really breakthrough that may at times surprise customers, while bringing ideas and ideals to life. We strongly believe that this partnership with one of the major menswear luxury e-tailers is strategically relevant to our digital transformation in today’s changing scenario where we are making significant steps forward,” added Stefano Cantino, PRADA Group Strategic Marketing Director.

The partnership is culminating in a MR PORTER x PRADA hero story with video in The Journal and a MR PORTER x PRADA bowling event in New York City, both on 26 April.

This January, Prada released an exclusive sneaker for MR PORTER -a sportswear-inspired limited edition runner.

  • Let’s take a closer look at some jewelry industry firsts introduced recently by the Pennsylvania-based estate jewelry company:

Embarking on the search to find the perfect gift can be more fun and practical. For someone enamored with jewelry, to see your new regalia before you buy is a must. The opportunity to schedule webcam meetings to see your new jewelry in high-definition before it reaches the recipient is a great way to preview the next high-end acquisition.

You have already imagined the moment when you will give the unique gift and the sparkling brilliance in the eyes of your loved one. Magnify the impact of the experience with special private viewings with expert jewelers, as you can study each item in detail with no sales pressure. Take an expert look at the bejeweled collection of earrings, bracelets, watches, rings or necklaces to add to your wish list and build excitement to the moment you will give your new treasure with a proof of authentication attached to the lavish box. Your smile will light up with contentment. All you need to do is click the view live button on the product page and schedule a viewing with  a concierge. Indeed, there’s no other jewelry shopping experience online like it.

  • The time to transform you jewelry collection is now. Let’s see how you can keep building a timeless treasure box.

Jewelry is forever and it always fits. The spectacular rise of collecting culture in the jewelry and watch segment gave birth to some serious collections. These collections can be enriched with The Opulent Box service, the world’s most expensive luxury jewelry subscription box and one of the best services to date for those wanting that extra layer of exclusivity.

The service features authentic, rare luxury jewelry from the world’s most praised jewelry Maisons. Before being included in the Opulent Jewelers’ offer, the luxury items have to clear the rigorous standards of the brand’s team of experts.

The goal is also to save you time by doing an expert research and documentation, as well as to save you money. Most of the jewelry items included in the $100,000 USD (paid quarterly) subscription are very rare, would cost much more when purchased individually or are not available in the stores anymore. The box celebrating the shining stars of the art of gems will include some of the most popular and recognizable pieces of jewelry in the world like the exquisite diamond necklace from Van Cleef & Arpels, Chopard Happy Diamonds, Cartier Love Bracelet, Gucci Necklaces, Chanel Camelia ring, or the Bulgari Ballerina Diamond Engagement ring in platinum.

A style survey will unveil your favorite brands, precious stones, designers, styles, colors, and special requests in search for the ultimate jewelry trophies for your family collection. Once you have joined the club you can collect your jewelry and garner admiring glances for years to come. Nothing equals the intrigue behind opening the weirdly hypnotizing box. It comes with appraisals, certificates of authenticity and a few extra stupefying goodies. With an easy return service, the concierge can make the exchange process quick and gracious. 100% authentic, the jewelry will only increase in value over time.

Keep in mind that hard to find exquisite jewelry pieces will continue to shine for decades to come.
A smile and an Eternity ring are the prettiest things you can wear!
