Stuttgart/Munich. Porsche Design and Baldessarini present a joint Special Edition for Spring/Summer 2010. After the two companies worked together in 2006 to develop a limited edition exclusive leather jacket, their current cooperation venture includes a T-shirt, a polo shirt, a sportswear jacket and a leather jacket.
The inspiration for these top quality products was provided by the interior of the Porsche cars from the 70s. The so-called "Pascha" pattern was used on the fabric seat inserts of these historic models: a wavy, displaced, black and white chequerboard pattern that looks like a waved chequered flag. This special design is approached anew in the Special Edition from Porsche Design and Baldessarini - as a lining in the jackets and as a specific element of logo stitching and appliqué.
The in-house developed co-branding, which also reflects the heritage concept, is found exclusively on these products. The logo is printed as a high quality flock print on the T-shirt, the polo shirt has an elegant tone-on-tone stitching and a top quality patch has been developed for the sportswear and leather jackets.
The range of colours concentrates on the classic Porsche Design colours: black, white and titanium grey. Indian red provides a refreshing accent on the polo shirt.
The new Special Edition will be in the shops from November 2009 and is available worldwide from selected retailers, in Porsche Design Stores and Baldessarini Stores.
Porsche Design and Baldessarini combine the passion of their founders–pioneers whose contributions of innovation, passion and details have characterised their efforts to achieve perfection right from the start.
"The first cooperation between the two companies in 2006 proved to be very successful. We wanted to build on that with the new Special Edition", says Thorsten Stiebing, managing director of Baldessarini GmbH.
