Prada's Fall Winter 2016 by Miuccia Prada had it's core in the collaboration between the brand and french artist Christophe Chemin. For us this was a moment that defined the true art of collaborations and how it can be pure beauty instead of a financially motivated fusion.
Crafted in Italy with premium viscose, this shirt features a dystopian fantasy of Noah’s Ark, while referencing a medieval tapestry and the Playstation game "ARK: Survival Evolved“. "People will see what they want in the clothes," said Chemin. "The references are there for the people that are curious enough.““ Christophe Chemin for ID, 2016.
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.
