The [Prada Time Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timecapsule-nft) program is a new offering from the fashion brand that commemorates its revamped website and enables style-conscious consumers with a hip range of [limited-edition styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gapvintage).

The first release as part of the collection is the 'JANUARY' shirt that is a new take on the brand's classic cotton poplin camp shirt and covers in an [all-over graphic print](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-x-graniph-1). The shirt showcases a seaside holiday with visual imagery that is distinctly retro to call to mind the aesthetic of vacation scenes from yesteryear. The shirt features a logo created by creative studio OMA and will each have a serial number.

The Prada Time Capsule program will be offering just 50 example of the shirt for sale for 24 hours starting on January 2 with the next release slated for February 6.
