STAUD AND WRANGLER® BLEND CALIFORNIA COOL AND WESTERN HERITAGE IN NEW PREMIUM DENIM COLLABORATION
Collection Combines Iconic Western Archives with a Modern Aesthetic Designed to Make a Statement
STAUD AND WRANGLER®
September 7, 2023 (LOS ANGELES, CA) — STAUD, the Los Angeles-based fashion brand, announces its collaboration with Wrangler®, the legendary global jeanswear brand. This partnership marks a union of two American fashion industry leaders, combining STAUD's modern California aesthetic with Wrangler's deep-rooted authority in denim and the authentic western lifestyle.
The STAUD + Wrangler collaboration reimagines traditional denim with a fresh perspective. Drawing inspiration from vintage Wrangler ads and Sarah Staudinger’s favorite, well-worn pair of Wrangler jeans, the collection emphasizes classic denim construction with STAUD’s feminine designs to deliver a thoughtfully curated collection that effortlessly blends classic Americana-style with contemporary design features and looks.
"We are beyond excited to partner with Wrangler for this collection," said Sarah ‘Staud’ Staudinger, Co-founder and Creative Director of STAUD. "Wrangler's heritage in denim aligns with our brand ethos of creating pieces that are timeless while feeling fresh. Together, we have created a collection that combines Wrangler's iconic styles and infuses them with our DNA."
With STAUD's classic yet modern appeal and Wrangler's legacy of quality and authentic western and western-inspired denim, the collection brings an array of elevated essentials in two distinct washes to mix and match for endless combinations. The 8-piece collection features silhouettes and finishes that demand attention, from a flared Bikini Jean and its matching Jean Bikini Top to a pencil skirt and a chambray western shirt lengthened into a dress.
“The overall style versatility and uniquely designed pieces within this collaboration represents the best of both brands and presents today's fashion seekers with a powerful blend of classic looks and original fits,” says Holly Wheeler, vice president of global brand marketing for Wrangler. “We have co-authored a collection that is well-timed with how denim is currently showing up as a central element in fashion and self-expression.”
The limited STAUD + Wrangler collaboration is available for purchase online at staud.clothing and wrangler.com , as well as in STAUD stores. Prices range from 120 - 365 euros.
