Puzzle-like compositions—both adamantly flat and invitingly deep—define the Aspen Map Collection, a body of work designed by Prada with artwork by artist and entrepreneur Paula Crown. Crown’s sketches start as printed color forms on glassy smooth gesso-primed linen that accrues layer after layer of delicately calibrated brushwork. While the artwork emulates the numinous surface of fresh snow, the technical features of this blouson jacket with oversized volumes and a cropped cut elevate the piece beyond a well-made jersey.
Made from two-layer jersey fabric produced from recycled polyester fiber, the ASPENX Prada Men’s Map Jersey includes heat-sealed tape seams for thermal insulation, waxed zipper closure, drawstring hem and hood, patch pockets, and Prada Linea Rossa intarsia latex logo badge.
