“1999”-inspired clothes collection honors prince
Where there is a Prince, there is a castle full of people who keep things running. Prince certainly had a team of creatives as talented as he to collaborate on and bring his visions to life. The musician’s legacy continues into the new decade, because his close collaborators continue to give us visions of the purple world Prince invited us into.
Recently, designers Cathy Robinson and Lori Marcuz, who created many of Prince’s legendary costumes, have debuted a fashion line called “His Royal Badness.” This exciting new collection is inspired by — and created just in time for — the highly anticipated Super Deluxe reissue of Prince’s 1999 album.
Robinson and Marcuz, the duo behind the Toronto brand Call & Response, worked with Prince from 2011 until his passing in 2016. Though they never met the artist, they formed a tight bond with the musician. So much so that the Prince estate has approved their work, and has been willing to help the designers launch this collection of hand-crafted custom jackets, hand-dyed tunics and vests exclusively for Prince fans.
