Going Black with Barkers

Filed under: Lucire, New Zealand, design, fashion, modelling — Lucire staff @ 13.09

Barkers

The All Blacks were getting plenty of announcements today: ﬁrst, Telecom New Zealand said it would sponsor New Zealand’s rugby team through to the 2011 World Cup. Secondly, menswear brand Barkers announced its collaboration, with a Barkers Black line, inspired by Italian designer gear.
The idea was to create a slick silhouette for the bulkier rugby player—but as with Barkers generally, there will be sizes across the board.
The range features suits, a wool coat and shirts, along with New Zealand-made merino knitwear.
All Blacks Josevata Rokocoko, Anthony Boric and Richard Kahui star in the campaign.
