Blue Blood A/W 08

BLUE BLOODS AW08 COLLECTION IS INSPIRED BY THE RESSURGENCE OF VINTAGE CLOTHING/ICONIC pieces that they have rebuilt with the passion of the originals and then delicately modernized and upgraded to suit modern tastes. The full collection is a celebration of classic style and this was inspired by studying a foundation of classic pieces and bringing them back to life. Both the men’s and ladies collections are littered with classic pieces of inspiration from the 50’s/60’s/70’s and 80’s including Military, Industrial Uniforms, Active Sportswear and Denim Archives. Examples include 1960’s Fire Brigade Melton Smocks, 1950’s Officers’ Uniforms, 1980’s Tracksuits and 1970’s 501’s.
COLLABORATION BLUE BLOOD & NIGEL CABOURN 10 ICONIC PIECES. These 10 pieces are the headline for the collection. Together they scoured Nigel’s archive to select the finest Blue Blood complementary pieces thus creating a perfect capsule collection of ’ Winter Classics ‘.

The collaboration is completed with a perfect balance of jackets, pants, knitwear and accessories. The complete story is exclusively hand made in England, Scotland and Japan.
