The Prada Special feature focuses on tailored menswear staples, ranging from suits and briefcases to casual knitwear and crossbody bags. Styling by Kim Payne highlights a versatile wardrobe that balances sharp silhouettes with relaxed, functional pieces. The production was guided by producer Steff Hawker and casting director Jean-Marc Mondelet, featuring model Leo Comanescu throughout the series. The work leans into a candid, analogue-inspired aesthetic that emphasizes the textures of an urban environment.
