The Old Navy x The Devil Wears Prada collection translates key visual elements from the film into accessible apparel and accessories. The range includes cable-knit sweaters, graphic T-shirts, hoodies, wide-leg jeans, and structured handbags, many referencing the film’s signature cerulean color palette. Select pieces incorporate embroidered motifs and printed quotes drawn from recognizable scenes, embedding narrative details into otherwise everyday garments. The designs reinterpret character styling through simplified silhouettes and casual materials suited for mass retail distribution.
The collaboration aligns with the upcoming release of The Devil Wears Prada 2, extending the film’s visual identity into a consumer-facing format. Accessories such as tote bags, crossbody styles, and caps expand the offering beyond apparel while maintaining consistent graphic references. The collection is produced across a broad size range and distributed through Old Navy’s retail and online channels.
