Iggy Pop joins forces with Sailor Jerry
The rock star is the second artist to curate a collection for the William Grant & Sons-owned spiced rum brand, last year musician Paul Simonon of The Clash fame created a leather jacket.
The full collection will be revealed in October but one of the three items is thought to be a denim vest.
“Having Iggy Pop on board for this year’s Flash Collection is a huge deal for us,” said global brand director, Enda O’Sullivan.
“Iggy is not only a talented musician, but also a respected style icon whose rebellious approach to life is exactly what Sailor Jerry stands for. Having seen initial designs, we are really excited about Iggy’s vision and can’t wait to unveil the collection in Miami this October.”
The items will be available to buy from a “handful” of selected stores worldwide and online from the dedicated website, www.sailorjerryclothing.com.
“When I was asked to be involved with the latest Flash Collection, I was intrigued right away,” said Pop.
“I fell in love with the pin-ups. Sailor Jerry’s pin-ups are the best. Bringing his stuff to life for a collection of limited edition clothes was something I totally wanted to be a part of.”
This summer a Sailor Jerry campaign called for bartenders to have a national day off as part of Bartender Appreciation Day.
