Actor and producer Antonio Banderas has added a new position to his resume. The star can now be called fashion designer as he’s just launched his first fashion line: The Antonio Banderas Design by Selected Homme.
Banderas, who’s studying fashion design at Central Saint Martins in London, collaborated with Selected to introduce his first collection slated for this fall. Selected is a Scandinavian high-street label and provides its history of superb styling as a partner to Banderas’ own unique aesthetic.
This new collection is set to be the first of two, and it is divided into three categories meant to reflect his life: heritage, indigo, and identity. “In a way they are me and my way of life,” said Banderas.
Designed as a lifestyle collection for the “everyday man,” it features 30 pieces, including items like chinos, jeans, cashmere knit cardigans, overcoats, motorcycle jackets, and wool-blend blazers. Prices range from around $26 to $485, depending on the item. The black biker jacket is one of the more luxe, and thus more expensive, pieces.
Banderas even included a specific shade of ocean blue that’s been inspired by his native home, Spain. Wearers will find detailed pops of the hue in the linings of jackets and other outerwear pieces.
Interested customers can head to Selected.com and select retailers this August.
