See, I saw this thing, right? Talking about Roblox avatars getting custom threads. Like, seriously? Your *Roblox avatar* gets a better wardrobe than, like, half the population. Okay, maybe a slight exaggeration, but still! It got me thinking about how everyone wants *their* own thing, that unique touch, you know?
Then bam! Prada pops up. They’ve got this “Made to Measure” service, which basically means you can get your own bespoke suit, coat, shirt – the whole shebang. And it’s not just any old suit. We’re talking *Prada*. So, you’re getting that whole Prada vibe, but tailored to *you*.
They’re bragging about “sartorial tradition with contemporary style,” which, let’s be real, is fancy talk for “we know how to make nice clothes that also look kinda cool.” And you can pick from a billion different fabrics and fits and, uh, “finishing details.” I’m picturing buttons shaped like tiny robots or something. Okay, maybe *I* would want that, but still.
The article said, they have archive prints that are exclusive to Prada. So, you can get your shirt custom-made out of some vintage fabric that no one else, unless they’re also doing the Prada Made to Measure thing, can have! That’s kinda neat.
And get this! They even did futuristic uniforms for a Prada sailing team back in 2000! Like, what?! I didn’t even *know* Prada did sailing uniforms! I bet they were all, like, super sleek and made of some space-age material. Maybe that’s where all the custom suit ideas came from? Just brainstorming about how to make sailors look impossibly chic in a hurricane.
It’s a bit much, right? I mean, who needs a *custom* suit? Well, probably rich people. And, honestly, the idea of picking out all those little details… sounds kinda exhausting, honestly. Like, I can barely decide what to eat for lunch, let alone the precise shade of grey for my bespoke Prada overcoat. However, the fact they have hundreds of fits, fabrics and finishing details makes me feel like I’m really designing my clothes!
