Donwan Harrell is the main designer at PRPS and has been since it first started. In this video he talks about how PRPS was started and how it evolved over the years.

New York-based brand PRPS have unveiled their Fall Winter 2011 collection in photo and video form. This season they’re delivering a strong looking capsule inspired by early American outdoor lifestyle. While still focussing on their strong denim foundation, they present a good range of knits, shirts and jackets into the mix, all being Japanese pieced goods finished with elaborate detailing.

We take a look at the upcoming PRPS Spring/Summer 2011 Collection. We feel like the brand is becoming more focused again since last season and also really like what we are seeing for the upcoming one. Workwear inspired, next to nicely aged denim, they present some strong jackets and shirts. Sometimes PRPS distresses their goods a little too much for us, but overall they kept a nice balance for Spring 2011.

Check out the rest of the looks after the jump.

PRPS has teamed up with Berlin boutique 14oz. on an exclusive pair of Barracuda denim. The raw denim comes limited to only 50 pairs, with each pair being individually numbered on the back leather tag. The denim is now available from 14oz. and goes for 349 Euros.

Take a further look at the denim after the jump.

Our brothers over at SL profile the forthcoming AW10 collection from PRPS. “While everyone knows about PRPS’ denim by now, their outerwear is strengthening season on season. On the coat side, there’s denim work jackets, shearling lined coats alongside the usual cropped denim jackets. The main influences were aztec (which we’re sure came off the navajo trend that started appearing a few seasons ago) and 50’s western, which came up in their new vintage denim, the LTD 20. Washed denim is still a hot bone of contention in menswear (stonewash denim still gives plenty of folks the chills) but if you were to take the easy way out, PRPS would be the brand of choice.”

We have seen more flannels this Fall/Winter season than in the past 10 years all together. They came of course in the form of shirts, sneakers, bags, accessories, jackets, you name it. Without wanting to bore you, we still do have to show you this fresh flannel shirt by PRPS. The sea blue color looks nice, but what makes this shirt stand out is the approach and amount of customization. It almost feels like the people from PRPS took the same approach as with their denim – lots of custom work, adding value to an otherwise pretty basic product. On the pockets, cuffs and other spots there are nice embroideries smartly changing the look of the shirt.
Definitely one of the best flannel shirts we have come across this season. It is now available at Commonwealth.
