  • “It’s OK Not To Be OK” | MR PORTER Health In Mind
    “It’s OK Not To Be OK” | MR PORTER Health In Mind"I put this mask on for everyone to see, but in reality I was always suffering.” Mr Leon Cerrone has lived with depression for his entire adult life. In this short film, he takes us on a journey through his darkest moments and explains how opening up to his friends helped him to turn his life around – and to realise that it’s okay to not be okay. This film was made for MR PORTER Health In Mind, an initiative dedicated to helping men lead happier lives.
  • CELINE HOMME x MR PORTER
    CELINE HOMME x MR PORTERMedieval fantasy or punk reverie? Why not both? Today, we're pleased to present the latest collection from the mind of Mr Hedi Slimane: CELINE HOMME’s “Teen Knight Poem”. If you caught the virtual show, which was held on the rooftops of an actual Renaissance castle in the Loire Valley and opened with models galloping majestically on horseback towards the turreted facade, you’ll already know to expect armour-like tailoring, glittering embroidery and a whole lot of leather.
