Nicholas Daley unveils the Blue Quilt collection designed for the Spring/Summer 2022 season with the help of artist Caleb Kunle. Kunle stars in the new seasonal campaign and helps in honoring musical icons such as Richie Havens and Davey Graham.
It is a seasonal capsule of apparel that celebrates Black Folk and Blues through intricate fashion and celebration of the culture. The name of the capsule is also what the focus design point is: quilting. Nodding to the works of New York-centric contemporary artist, Michael Thorpe, the brand utilizes the quilting throughout new and progressive silhouettes. Daley also references the expertise of Japanese dyeing methods that can be seen on the bold Rokeysu two-piece design.
