FW16 "The Important Ones" Shirt

the Piece

This light blue colored pencil on paper, is the reinterpretation of a classic Renaissance battle with heroes, world-improvers, inventors and fighters.
Hercules bashes a club-wielding Sigmund Freud with a pair of Incredible Hulk fists. Nina Simone sports boxing gloves while dancing with Joan of Arc, who shakes Macarenas, Che Guevara holding an Oscar, and many more. One of the weirdest constellations form one of the greatest artworks in fashion.

the Collection

We all remember 2016 as a very great year in fashion, but especially the collaboration between Prada and Berlin-based French Artist Christophe Chemin was one of our highlights. He created ink and pencil illustrations based on an evolving dialogue between him and Prada, which started with a conversation on Instagram with Fabio Zambernadi, Prada’s chef of design. The outcome was a hugely successful collection full of pieces that featured unique drawings from Chemin, all exclusively created for Prada.
