Prada Parallel Universes by Vahram Muratyan
Armenian graphic artist Vahram Muratyan has lent his playful hand to a series of unisex t-shirts for Prada. Wittily reimagining items from the S/S 12 runway, Muraytan has turned a studded shoe into an earing dangling from a woman's face on one t-shirt, while on another, the blue of a clutch bag becomes the surface of a swimming pool, complete with diver making a splash.
Muraytan is best known for his tome ‘Paris vs New York’, a visually striking comparison between the two cities, and it was this that prompted Prada to recruit the Armenian-born designer to create a virtual lookbook of the collection earlier this year, also titled ‘Prada Parallel Universes’. The capsule collection is the next installment, and once again echoes the book, with shoes and bags propped up on New York skyscrapers.

From the must-have flame-detailed heels to statement sunglasses, the t-shirt series of the same name is a celebration of the collection and is brimming with the artist’s bold and playful style
