Following his daughter-in-law Meghan Markle's lead, his royal highness Prince Charles has now announced his own capsule collection.
Yes, you heard that right! Owing to their love for sustainability in fashion and helping a cause, the Prince’s Foundation, the charity that coordinates Charles’s donations, announced a partnership collection with Yoox Net-a-Porter.
The #ModernArtisanProject will equip young artisans with the skills to succeed in a fast-paced digital landscape.

The capsule collection will consist of 17 ensembles designed by fashion students and fresh graduates from the Politecnico di Milano. The clothing will be manufactured by six students in the traditional crafts and skills program at Dumfries House, which is the historic estate and educational center of the Prince’s Foundation.
