MINI FASHION – BEYOND NATIVE. MINI to present new, limited-run Capsule Collection at Pitti Uomo 92

At the Pitti Uomo, one of the leading international fairs for men’s #fashion and contemporary lifestyle, #mini is offering an exclusive look at its new MINI #fashion – BEYOND NATIVE Capsule Collection. As part of a special collaboration with #mini, five up-and-coming international designers are highlighting the creative contrasts between cultural origins and adopted homelands. This process of exploration has yielded individual #fashion items for the proverbial “urban traveller” roaming between vastly differing cultures and ways of life. BEYOND NATIVE is inspired by one of the most diverse living environments of all: the city, MINI’s native habitat.

 

“Our aim through the collaboration with these five creatives is to provide a platform for the unique energy which only the fusion of disparate cultural influences can generate,“ explains Sabine Ringel, Creative Lead at #mini #fashion. “The richness and depth of the work produced by these well-travelled designers only exist because of their decision to cross borders.”

 

Below are the designers participating in the collaboration and their cultural backgrounds:

The five-piece collection will go on display at Pitti Uomo 92 in Florence, Italy from 13 – 16 June and be available in limited numbers for online purchase from this autumn.
