La DoubleJ and Orlebar Brown unveil the perfect OOO wardrobe
Just in time for summer, La DoubleJ and Orlebar Brown have launched a capsule collection perfect for the upcoming summer PTO. Dubbed “Elevate Your Vacation Vibes,” the collection features 34 ready-to-wear styles adorned with bold, colorful patterns that you'll want to throw in your carry-on luggage straight away.
The collaboration marks something of a reunion for friends and brand founders JJ Martin and Adam Brown, who apparently met at a mutual friend's party in the English countryside. The pair combined the best of both brands, fusing La DoubleJ's signature vibrant prints with Orlebar Brown's sleek, streamlined silhouettes.
“This collection is truly a culmination of our founders' work,” Martin said in a press release. “While it may seem like a traditionally 'men's' and 'women's' collection rolled into one, every piece is actually genderless and made to be borrowed from your partner's or best friend's closet while on vacation together. It's a true marriage of energies and aesthetics.”
In a statement, Brown said, “I fell in love with La Double J when I met JJ Martin a few years ago. Her aesthetic is infectiously bright and vibrant, perfectly embodying our motto, 'Feel the Summer.' This collection is the perfect marriage of both brands and takes us into a new world – no rules, no restrictions – full of love and joy.”
