PRPS Autumn and Winter Lookbook
PRPS have become a popular brand in the US and are growing in popularity in the UK, they seem to have become a common choice of denim for many celebrities including David Beckham and Tom Cruise. PRPS are probably best known for producing jeans finished with an authentic distressed look. For each collection, PRPS put alot of time and effort into research and development they say they ‘take detail from military, work wear and hunting apparel’. Taking detail from those three areas should work especially well for them this season as they are all popular trends within themselves, we’ve talked about the worker trend and touched on hunting apparel in previous posts, the military trend is popular with All Saints, where they have a selection of military style jackets in their collection, I have also noticed diesel breaking into the military trend with a military look chunky knit. Anyway back on topic, two quotes from the PRPS website clearly indicates why they have gained alot of respect in the men’s fashion world…
‘In the pursuit of delivering perfect garments to the most discerning denim enthusiast. No detail is overlooked’.
‘Although PRPS are very fashionable they are also designed to be worn and utilised’
Although PRPS are on the expensive side they are definitely one brand of jeans that is actually worth the money. If you have a pair of PRPS or are going to purchase some you will be able to tell from the amount of detail in them, how much work and care have gone into each pair to ensure quality denim that isn’t comparable to other brands of jeans. We discussed in previous posts including the Dsquared 09/10 collection and Justin Timberlake style how the distressed look in jeans has recently began to grow in popularity and make it’s way into this seasons trends, PRPS should be leading this trend as they have been producing distressed jeans for the last three years.
The new PRPS collection also includes some great mens clothing for the upper body, including t-shirts, leather and denim jackets, denim and checked shirts and knitwear. Last week we discussed the rise of the double denim in mens fashion and below the PRPS model (fourth row down, second column) has taken it one step further with a triple denim look. From looking at the images below you can see that PRPS are not big fans of skinny jeans, with most of the styles being a straight leg fit.
