Designer update

one from the boys: prps is cutting for girls

August 11, 2008  9:49 am

Prps

Katie Holmes is often accused of copycatting Posh Spice’s style, but when it comes to denim, apparently she prefers to steal a trick from Becks. To wit: David Beckham has been making a habit of wearing PRPS’ Impala jean, and lately, so too has the lady Holmes—straight from the men’s department. Soon, however, female fans of PRPS’ retro denim will be getting a version of the Impala made just for them. The brand is debuting its womenswear collection this fall, and PRPS founder and designer Don Harrell fully expects the boyfriend-y Impala to emerge as the label’s knockout cut. "Women have been seeking out the men’s version," he notes, "so we decided we’d do an identical pair. The only thing I changed was the rise; we made it a little tiny bit shorter, so they slouch right." Harrell is fanatical about those kinds of details—the Virginia native is a vintage-car fiend and drag-racing fan, and he gathers much of his inspiration for the damage on his denim at the strip. "I go every weekend and watch the guys who work on the cars. Oil stains, tears, blots of antifreeze, very authentically American degradation. I take pictures, and mail them off to my factory in Japan."
