NEW Vilebrequin Collections & Collaborations
Are you familiar with the Atlas, one of the most beautiful and highest mountain ranges in Africa? After the holidays by the sea, Vilebrequin transports us to the magic of a winter mountainscape. Following the first winter collection, Vilebrequin debuts another winter season to build out their lifestyle offerings with the Atlas collection. Design inspirations stem from a cable car venturing high above a frosted palm grove, carrying skiers to snowcapped peaks and ski tracks that crisscross ocean blue pistes. The luxurious craftsmanship of the collection shows through the use of Italian wool and raccoon fur. Attached is a look book of the Atlas collection.
The Atlas Mountains stretch over 1,500 miles from Morocco’s West Coast to Tunisia and are home to North Africa’s highest peak, Jebel Toubkal (4,167 m).
Alex Israel and Vilebrequin have collaborated on a new California inspired swimsuit launching in November.

Artist Alex Israel (b. 1982) is a leading figure of the contemporary Los Angeles art scene. His work explores the Californian influences that have also shaped and inspired the Vilebrequin brand. The universe reflected through Israel’s lens is an ecosystem in which each element in the artist’s growing vocabulary may reappear, be recycled, remixed, or completely transformed.

2011 Summer Autumn Collection
“In the style of…” This season Vilebrequin enters into a creative dialogue with the contemporary artists who have shaped the 20th century. Henri Matisse and his cutout techniques, Andy Warhol and his Pop Art, Sonia Delaunay and her love of colours… so many creations able to inspire Vilebrequin to produce a collection that sounds like a tribute to the history of art.Roy Lichtenstein’s favoured comic strip style, the Klein blue, Joan Miro’s poetic shapes, the exotic, highly-stylised paintings of Henri Rousseau and even Jackson Pollock’s splashes of water paint also feature in this entertaining and cultural journey. Each swimsuit becomes a master’s canvass, an original piece from a unique world, fuelled by the identity of each of these artists and inspired by their personalities.Vilebrequin’s icons, the tortoise, fruits and flowers have been reinterpreted using techniques specific to each artist. Vilebrequin has designed a timeless collection, both creative and inventive, with art collectors and sun lovers in mind…
