Iggy Pop for Sailor Jerry

Iggy Pop is known for his iconic music style and collaborations such as for the soundtrack of HBO's 'True Blood'-series. On 21 October 2014, the American clothing and spiced rum brand Sailor Jerry presented the collaboration with the legendary punk-rocker with photos by rock-images producer Mick Rock and video where Iggy Pop introduces into 'The Flash Collection' which can be worn by men and women.

The word 'Flash' is the old-school term for tattoo designs preserved on paper and references the history of the brand Sailor Jerry which was founded by inspiration of the life of sailor and tattoo artist Norman 'Sailor Jerry' Collins. Center piece of Iggy Pop's range is the blue-black 50's denim motorcycle-club styled vest with the slogan 'Death Shall Triumph' (the slogan was found in Sailor Jerry flash designs). "I dig Norman's tattoo designs," explained Iggy Pop "and totally wanted to bring to life his awesome Flash Art in a clothing range. This is my first time designing a clothing collection and what's been really interesting is digging through all of Norman 'Sailor Jerry' Collins' work and learning all about the man, the legend!"

It's announced that only 50 vests will be made, each one hand-signed by Iggy Pop and numbered. Additional items of the collection are patches and a leather belt that is limited to 100 pieces; the buckle shows a Sailor Jerry image of a shark rising from the sea, which Iggy Pop regards as a symbol of "power and individuality". 'The Flash Collection' is on view on sailorjerryclothing.com.
