In her latest interpretation of the material, Prada asked the architects Rem Koolhaas and Herzog & de Meuron — with whom she collaborates regularly — to design something in nylon for the show, and to select another talent from their field to do the same. They chose, respectively, the German designer Konstantin Grcic and the French designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. T spoke to each of them about their designs. — The New York Times Style Magazine
Prada just wrapped up its anticipated fall/winter 2018 show, which the fashion powerhouse held in a converted warehouse in Milan, designed by AMO.
"The building is organized in sectors that each correspond to a specific theme," a Prada statement describes the venue conversion. "Boxes, crates and all the other objects that colonize the warehouse are marked with a series of ambiguous symbols that express the multiplicity of the Prada identity. Classical themes like idealized accessories, gizmos, mascots and recurring motifs of the collections are transformed into emblems that hint at the content of the crates."
Noteworthy moments of the fall/winter collection were the collaborations with architects Rem Koolhaas and Herzog & de Meuron, contributing designs that interpreted this year's theme: nylon.
The architects were invited to select design talents to also submit their take on the material, and German designer Konstantin Grcic and the French designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec were the lucky chosen.

... and people see value in this?
Hilarious.
humanity deserves to go extinct
No jet packs yet, but at least we have front packs now...said no one ever.
That's an enormous fanny pack! I kind of like it...You don't have to take it off when seated in a train or bus, don't have to worry about pickpockets emptying your backpack unseen and you can reach everything in the front much more easily.
Do they come in any other colors besides black?
