Regular readers will know my unadulterated love for Paris-born fashion brand The Kooples, which recently came over to London. Tying into this move, the brand has chosen to partner with British rocker and former boyfriend of Kate Moss, Pete Doherty.
Doherty will be designing a capsule collection of flannel blazers, Soviet-style coats with fur collars and T-shirts printed with the musician’s own paintings and sketches, all inspired by “doomed Byronic heroes”. Available October 2011.
The Kooples recently launched its own record label, The Kooples Records, and is searching for couples who record music together to feature on its debut compilation. The above image featured Pete Doherty with The Kooples founders Raphael, Alexandre and Laurent Elicha.
