The Ettore Bugatti luxury clothing line returns with a new special capsule collection dedicated to the extraordinary Bugatti Chiron
This new and exclusive collection comprises of twelve pieces and accompanying eyewear. It was recently unveiled alongside the new 1,500 hp high-performance Chiron during the 86th Geneva International Motor Show which we covered in-depth via our social media channels.
Through its printed motifs, workmanship and finishing touches, the line draws many design clues from the styling of the Chiron. The aforementioned Chiron is regarded as a replacement for the Italian brand’s Veyron (the world’s fastest production car) and is so named after Louis Chiron, a legendary racing driver who won almost every major Grand Prix for the brand in the 1920s and 1930s.
Out of all the beautiful pieces making up the Chiron capsule collection, the crowning glory has to be the driver’s jacket made from calf leather with stitching on the back that depicts the seats of the Bugatti Chiron. The driver’s jacket is extremely soft to the touch, and features the iconic blue duotone, the brand’s colour scheme of choice, and is Bugatti through and through, from the use of clever artisanal techniques, such as hand polishing, to the choice of truly exquisite materials.
The four coloured T-shirts are designed to give a look that combines comfort and style, flaunting their links to the motoring world through the Bugatti Chiron print on the chest.
The eyewear and cap round off the Bugatti gentleman’s look, suggesting a lover of fine things who admires how the company strives for perfection in the tiniest of details, whether on cars or clothes.
The Ettore Bugatti Collection was launched two and a half years ago as a major step in Bugatti’s brand extension strategy. With its renowned road-going performance cars, Bugatti now not only stands for technological leadership and breathtaking performance but also for art, design, luxury and an exclusive lifestyle.
The collection includes two main lines, which are mainly intended for men: the EB Ettore Bugatti line and the Bugatti Performance line. In addition to these two lines, there is also a Tailor Made/Bespoke range exclusively for Bugatti customers. While the collection currently focuses on clothing and accessories, design objects are due to follow at a later stage.
The Ettore Bugatti Collection is entirely made in Italy. Every item is numbered, with only 431 of each being produced to reflect the land speed record (kilometres per hour) that Bugatti alone was able to achieve.
