MR PORTER's ART/CRAFT Collection Is a Manifesto for the Future of Shopping
Clothing is, at its best, artwork. Sure, there’s a lot of throwaway fashion but you won’t find any of that at MR PORTER. The British retailer prides itself on only stocking the best of the best and that’s never been more apparent than with the ART/CRAFT capsule which hit the site today.
From BODE to Kapital, Carhartt WIP, JW Anderson, and more, the capsule collection is a deep dive into menswear, jewelry, homeware, and accessories that tread the intersection between art and craft.
In a time when the conversation surrounding fashion’s sustainability is hitting fever pitch, the fact that the brands that make up the ART/CRAFT collection refuse the shortfalls of mass production is central to the collection’s importance. Not only is this an exhibition of some of menswear’s most beautiful items, but it’s also a manifesto for how we should be shopping.

JW Anderson Harry Styles Patchwork Cardigan
JW Anderson knitwear hit the headlines when Harry Styles wore a patchwork cardigan on stage. It sparked a crochet trend beyond what anyone could have predicted and this neutral version looks to continue that trend well into fall and winter.
Kapital Distressed Jeans
Kapital is defined by its top-of-the-range craftsmanship. This high-end Japanese denim pair comes embellished with signature patchwork detailing. Keen eyes might be able to spot a couple of Kapital’s go-to motifs mixed in.
Gallery Dept La Flare Jeans
Gallery Dept. Was founded on Josué Thomas’ love of vintage and that passion shines through from time to time. This pair of repurposed Levi’s 501 jeans now features a bold kick flare thanks to inserts to each leg.
Needles Patchwork Shirt
Needles is arguably as famed for its cut-and-sew shirting as it is for its signature luxury track pants. This cotton-flannel collage features paint splatters for a hectic, unmissable finish.
Carhartt WIP Logo-Print T-Shirt
Yes, T-shirts can be works of art too. That’s why there’s a place reserved for this Carhartt WIP exclusive in the ART/CRAFT capsule. Cut from organic cotton, it features striking Carhartt prints to front and back.
BODE Striped Shirt
Of course, BODE is a central component of the ART/CRAFT collection. Emily Bode’s dedication to handcrafting and traditional manufacturing techniques puts her label in prime position to lead the new era of craftsmanship.
