The Happy Week Tie: Iconic ‘Vilebrequin’ Swimwear
Prints to Be Featured in Collection Debuting This Summer
PVH Corp.'s [NYSE: PVH] Insignia Design Group announced it is partnering
with G-III Apparel Group to launch a neckwear collection this summer
under G-III’s Vilebrequin brand. The collection will feature the
iconic prints for which the swimwear brand is known.
"One of the strongest trends across the men's fashion and accessories
category is prints," said David Sirkin, President, Dress Shirts for PVH,
who is responsible for the operation of the Company's Insignia Design
Group. "We are excited to team up with a brand like Vilebrequin
that is synonymous with iconic prints and high quality product. We
believe consumers will embrace the adaptation of Vilebrequin’s
prints from swimwear to neckwear."
The collection will feature the patterned artwork from the swim trunk
collection and will include neck ties, bow ties and pocket squares made
of fine Italian silk twill, all printed and made in Italy. Like the Vilebrequin
swimwear currently available, ties will be available for both men and
boys. Ties are constructed with ultra-light weight double woven linings.
Bow ties are printed on the classic silk twill and the pocket squares
are on either the silk twill or a silk/ cotton voile.
This marks the first in a series of planned lines between the two brands
and the collection will be available in-stores in May 2015.
