Sailor Jerry Clothing has announced that they will be partnering with global rock and style icon, Iggy Pop to create 'The Flash Collection by Iggy Pop'.
The annual collaboration between Sailor Jerry and a like-minded artist is inspired by the legendary tattoo flash of Norman 'Sailor Jerry Collins'. The success of last year's collaboration with The Clash's Paul Simonon saw the Flash Collection feature a limited edition leather jacket. This year's 'The Flash Collection By Iggy Pop' will feature three limited edition items including the collection hero piece, an iconic denim vest.
Iggy commented that the pin-ups are what intrigued him to collaborate. “When I was asked to be involved with the latest Flash Collection, I was intrigued right away. 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 ”.{youtube}jQvUBf5l7Vw{/youtube}
Enda O’Sullivan, Global Brand Director of Sailor Jerry says that having Iggy on board for this year's Flash Collection is a huge deal for them. “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”.
Rising to fame as the frontman of The Stooges, the godfather of punk rock's career has spanned almost half a century. Already a fan of the Sailor Jerry lifestyle, The Stooges classic song 'TV Eye' is the soundtrack to the latest Sailor Jerry campaign 'Life Outside The Lines', a motto Iggy lives his life by.
Available from October, 'The Flash Collection By Iggy Pop' will be sold at a handful of selected stores worldwide, and on Sailor Jerry Clothing.
