Iggy Pop has partnered with Sailor Jerry Clothing to create ‘The Flash Collection by Iggy Pop’, an annual collaboration between Sailor Jerry and a like-minded artist, inspired by the legendary tattoo flash of Norman ‘Sailor Jerry’ Collins.
This is the second year of ‘The Flash Collection’, the first of which saw Sailor Jerry collaborate with artist and musician Paul Simonon of The Clash fame to create a limited edition leather jacket in 2013. This year’s ‘The Flash Collection’ by Iggy Pop’ will feature three limited-edition items- including the collection hero piece, an iconic denim vest. Further details of the Flash Collection and the other two items will be revealed in October.
The godfather of punk rock, Iggy rose to fame as the front man of The Stooges. His career has spanned almost half a century, with five Stooges albums in his back catalogue and an additional 16 solo albums, so it is little wonder that Iggy has maintained his crown as one of the biggest influencers of the punk scene. Already a fan of the Sailor Jerry lifestyle Iggy’s classic Stooges song, TV Eye, from their 1970 album, Fun House, is the soundtrack to the latest Sailor Jerry ad campaign “Life Outside The Lines”, a motto which Iggy lives his life by.
This year’s Flash Collection will be available in a handful of selected stores around the world from October 2014.
