It seems the old Barbour jacket just keeps getting more stylish. Following on from Anya Hindmarch's collaboration with the heritage brand, Alice Temperley has just announced she will also create a new higher-end range.
Barbour Gold Label will be unveiled in time for next Autumn, making it the second designer womenswear collection for the label. "Our popularity as a fashion lifestyle brand has grown rapidly, and launching a premium women's wear collection is the next natural step in satisfying this demand," said Steve Buck, Barbour's managing director.
Temperley added: "Launching a premium... line with Barbour, one of my favorite British brands, is the perfect fit for Temperley. As we plan to celebrate our 10th anniversary in 2011, this collaboration comes at a significant time for our brand and offers our customers even more to choose from than ever before."
