Cult-favorite Japanese label Porter Yoshida & Co. has announced an all-new collaboration between its in-house sub-label POTR and New York’s rising athletic imprint Minor Planet. The collection, which comprises two bags and two T-shirts, plays into the yoga-inspired codes of the latter label, with a slew of mindful silhouettes that look to “celebrate the minor steps amid the grand designs of life.”<\/p>\n
Minor Planet’s philosophy is rooted in the tagline of “Unprofessional Technology,” which serves as a reminder to approach life with a “beginner’s mindset.” As opposed to making classic body-hugging yogawear, the label looks to unite the wardrobes of spiritual practitioners and athletes (specifically those who run, skate or surf) to produce a hybrid uniform that’s distinct to the label.<\/p>\n
In collaboration with POTR, Minor Planet produced a range of short and long-sleeve T-shirts that read “Shoshin” with both labels’ iconography. On the back of the designs, graphic illustrations nod to mindfulness with a “Meditation Party” design. In accessories, the brands created a utilitarian yoga shoulder case that’s built to carry a full-size mat. Rounding out the range, the duo crafted an athletic backpack that can be tied securely shut with an internal cord.<\/p>\n
The POTR x Minor Planet collection will be available to shop online and at Porter Omotesando on Friday, November 17. Take a closer look at the range in the gallery above.<\/p>\n
