Beckham for Belstaff second collection lands in store

The new Beckham for Belstaff 2015 collection will be available on the Belstaff website from Friday 5th June, as well as in stores globally. A true trans-seasonal evergreen, it will sit alongside the Belstaff Pre-Fall’15 then AW15 collections through to sell-out.

Following on from the success that was David Beckham’s first collaboration with Belstaff last year, the second capsule continues to explore David’s passion for vintage classics, while rendering them relevant today with contemporary silhouettes and luxury finishes.

The pervasive moto pieces are joined this year by an aviation-inspired thread. For instance, the Ryde is a take on the classic 1940s aviator jacket, with tailored collar, rear pleats and tumbled leather for an authentic finish. Joining it is the Moore, a fresh version of the definitive flying jacket in cotton/nylon twill, modernised with faux fur collar and a more contemporary silhouette.

David has been wearing the Stockfield - a 1950s classic denim trucker jacket with leather sleeves – since March, creating such customer demand that waiting lists were created and sales made, well before its delivery date.  

Last year’s bestseller, the Stannard – a classic café racer jacket with diamond quilting on the shoulders and elbows - sees the introduction of a new colour way in racing green this year, in addition to the black, and has also achieved huge retail success pre delivery.

The Marshfield blouson, with its iconic rear pockets, has been given a new hand-finish treatment to reinforce the vintage look.

David has also added to this collection further elements unique to his own moto style, including clean denim jeans with knee detailing, simple tees, Chambray denim shirts, bold yellow riding gloves, and every rider’s must-have: the bandana.

The new Beckham for Belstaff 2015 collection will be available from Friday 5^th June on the Belstaff website at www.belstaff.com/men/beckham-for-belstaff, in Belstaff stores worldwide and through select global distribution.

Belstaff Women's Autumn Winter ’15 Collection

The Pursuit of Freedom 

“Adventure is worthwhile in itself” Amelia Earhart

This season's collection explores the concept of a woman taking off into a natural realm with no frontiers or limitations, and all that she needs in the clothing on her back. Taking inspiration from the first pioneering women to dress in Belstaff, aviatrixes Amelia Earhart and Amy Johnson, the collection is a dynamic interpretation of the inherent danger and excitement of the natural world, allowing her to live fast and free in an ever-changing environment.

Drawing upon the need for protection from the elements, the collection focuses on luxurious natural fibres such as fur, shearling and woven wool bouclé, as well as Belstaff’s weather-proof fabrics, nylon and wax cotton. Layering is further explored with Belstaff’s modular lining system, ensuring that the Belstaff women is primed for the unexpected. A mixing of themes and materials is very apparent: masculine with feminine; oversize and mini; savage and sensual; casual and luxe. 

The collection, Delphine Ninous’ first for Belstaff as Vice President of Women’s Design, was presented in a beautiful, slightly crumbling mansion, among a setting of vintage parachute silks, evoking the heritage of the brand as supplier to pioneering pilots and the British army.

Belstaff Men’s Autumn Winter ‘15 Collection:

Ton-Up Boys

 

The Belstaff Men’s Autumn Winter ‘15 collection takes its inspiration from the ‘Ton-Up Boys’ of the 1950s. Heavily into their rock‘n’roll and motorcycles, these ‘greasers’ (as they would become known) would rendezvous at cafés and attempt to ‘do a ton’ (exceed speeds of 100mph) on their custom-made bikes. Fearless and reckless, they lived for the moment, redefining masculinity as they went.

 

The Ton-Up boys were initially influenced by Marlon Brando in the seminal 1953 movie The Wild One, in which he wore the now iconic Perfecto jacket. But they soon began putting their own very British twist on the look, adding elements of wax cotton riding kit, together with military surplus garments – two strong threads in Belstaff’s heritage - customising them as naturally as they did their bikes.

 

It is therefore fitting that Belstaff has chosen such an iconically British and petrol-fumed setting to present this collection: an underground car-park opposite the Houses of Parliament. A true celebration of the brand’s return its homeland, England.
