The retailer's new 'Futures' program offered the burgeoning designers mentorship—and a serious platform to sell their wares.
Manaaki, a “spirited” collection features hand-drawn prints from New Zealand-born designer Kat Tua. Sports-influenced jersey jackets and shorts are also included in her 27-piece assortment, alongside denim jackets and pants with an unconventional twist. Key pieces include the Tahi leather pant and Kai denim tracksuit set. Imbued with vibrant colors like jade, dusty pink and washed indigo, selects from the collection range from $95 to $935.
Panelists for the program included Mr Porter buying director Sam Kershaw, Mr Porter style director Olie Arnold, designer Reese Cooper, stylist and creative director Julia Ragolia, Beams & Co. director Tatsuo Hino, designer Nicholas Daley and Judith Tolley, a business and leadership coach for creative founders.
“Mr Porter Futures was born from discussions we had in the business regarding how we could support diversity and inclusivity at a grass roots level, encouraging anyone who had an idea for a collection to submit them,” Kershaw says in a statement. “The fact that all entrants were judged anonymously was hugely important and we are incredibly privileged to have selected three brands that are unique and should appeal to the modern man. The immense amount of hard work, dedication and effort to realize the collections is a true testament to the teams at MR PORTER and external industry mentors who devised an in depth, practical course in fashion design and manufacture. I am delighted that Mr Porter champions such talent.
