Taking the well-known saying ‘been there, done that, got the t-shirt’ to a whole new level, Prada today unveiled the JWP Epicenter project, a new collection of souvenir t-shirts with the floor plans and frontages of the brand’s seminal flagship stores printed on them. The Jersey White Prada Obvious Classic t-shirts (understandably abbreviated to JWP for the project) come in different ‘Prada’ shades for the different stores: white for Tokyo, LA and Montenapoleone Donna; red for NYC; sky blue for Montenapoleone Uomo; light green for London and black or white for Galleria.
