About
Prada Reporter brings fashion and photography into one frame: a capsule collection launched through a traveling pop-up conceived around “Witness to Nature,” an exhibition developed with Magnum Photos. Across four themes, images from every corner of the planet read the natural world through its tensions, micro and macro, power and fragility, beauty and danger.

The launch film

A cinerama of impressions. Magnum photographs cascade across the frame as flashes, fragments, details, never fully held, always moving. A visual language built from layers rather than sequences, where each frame feels at once like a memory and a discovery. A fitting overture for a project that lives at the intersection of reportage, fashion, and the natural world.

“Reality and Truth are two very different things.”

Cristina De Middel · Magnum Photographer

Witness to Nature

At the heart of the project, an exhibition built with Magnum Photos. Projected across the walls of the space, the natural world arrives as image rather than scenery, and the visitor steps inside it, dwarfed by the same tension the collection borrows from: between the photographer and the world they set out to record.

The collection

Prada Reporter is built around the iconography of the traveling photographer. Oversized jackets, Re-Nylon vests loaded with pockets, baggy trousers, a palette of black, olive green, and print. Clothes made to be worked in, carried, and worn out in the field.

Pop-up exhibition

The store doubled as the exhibition. Launched at Selfridges in London, Prada Reporter then carried “Witness to Nature” across eight cities, from New York and Singapore to Shanghai, Seoul, Tokyo, Osaka, and Hong Kong, each space the same hybrid of boutique and gallery.
