Barbour is celebrating its 75th anniversary by designing a [capsule collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farah-archive-collection) that pays tribute to the King of Cool’s style. The Barbour Steve McQueen Collection may be the most American thing I have ever seen. The collection is inspired by clothing that McQueen actually wore and includes a [bomber jacket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/octobre-editions-x-schott-nyc), t-shirts and sweaters, with almost all pieces featuring the American flag somewhere in their design. Check out the full collection here before it hits stores later this year. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Vintage Americana Fashion:** Opportunity to create clothing lines that pay tribute to iconic American figures and styles. - **Celebrity-inspired Capsule Collections:** Opportunity to design limited-edition collections inspired by famous personalities. - **Nostalgic Retro Trends:** Opportunity to tap into consumers' nostalgia by recreating iconic fashion from the past. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to collaborate with influential figures in the entertainment industry to design exclusive collections. - **E-commerce:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to launch online platforms dedicated to selling limited-edition celebrity-inspired fashion lines. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to leverage nostalgia marketing campaigns to engage consumers and drive product sales. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Actor-Honoring Boot Styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-wing-x-steve-mcqueen-classic-moc.md) - [British Heritage Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baracuta-x-barbour.md) - [Golden-Age Hollywood-Inspired Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-styles.md) - [British Bicycle Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brompton-bicycle.md) - [Jacket-Honoring Anniversary Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g9-anniversary.md) - [Auto-Inspired Apparel Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/percival-x-ford.md) - [Timeless Clothing Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-classics.md) - [Americana Autumn Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coors-banquet-and-brixton-1.md) - [Retro-Inspired Collaborative Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horse-power-collection.md)
