Prada designer gives site workwear a makeover

The latest range of site safety clothing from specialist U-Power has been put together with the help of a designer who has worked for fashion giants Prada and Fendi.

U-Power is expanding in the UK from its traditional Italian base.

And the firm is determined to bring a bit of famous Italian style to our construction sites.

U-Power believe its workwear is stylish enough to be worn off-site while practical enough to deal with the harshest  conditions.

The firm said: “The U-Power range unites the best design, technology, features and innovative materials from sport, leisure and workwear, offering the perfect work-to-leisure design and style and the highest levels of performance.”

The collection includes trousers, dungarees, shorts, jackets, bodywarmers, T- shirts, polo shirts, hoodies, socks, gloves and hats.

U-Power said: “The range is bang on trend and the height of fashion in its cutting-edge design, but does not sacrifice its ability to offer complete protection for a huge range of workplace tasks.

“No wonder that wearers of U-Power clothing want to keep it on both during and after work.”
