Baldessarini and Porsche Design Team Up For Retro Collection

Filed under: Apparel, Luxury Cars & Autos, Men's Style

Although summer 2009 isn't even over yet, fashion designers are already showing their fall/winter collections. But two luxury fashion houses are keeping a step ahead by introducing their line-up for summer 2010. And in the process, they've gone back to the 1970's for inspiration.

The collaboration between Baldessarini and Porsche Design started in 2006 with a solitary leather jacket. For 2010, the two companies have created another leather jacket, and complimented it with a polo shirt, t-shirt and yet another jacket. The collection is shaded in black, white and titanium grey, with a splash of red for color, and takes its cues from the Pascha pattern – a wavy checker-board graphic that simulated the victory flag from motor racing – that was available on Porsche sportscars in the 70s. The joint collection will be available in both Porsche Design and Baldessarini boutiques from November 2009. (Details in the press release after the jump and photos in the gallery below.)
