Quicksilver has been a mass market brand for quite some time now, but its not commonly known that it also has a premium, Limited Collection that has new releases every season. The first Limited Collection, which featured a collaboration with DPM (Disruptive Pattern Material) and Hardy Blechman of Maharishi, debuted in Spring 2007. Since that time, the line has evolved and taken on different sources of inspiration. So let’s talk Summer/Fall (yes FALL!!) collection that is hitting stores as you are reading this. This season’s collection has a sophisticated, minimalist aesthetic that fuses nautical and military influences. Design inspiration is also drawn from the archives of Quiksilver’s rich surf heritage, specifically from the art of legendary Quiksilver artist, Simon Buttonshaw and his “Tom-Tom” print. They’re also leading the board short innovation with an embossed diamond-patterned material that eliminates chafing, is ultra lightweight, has the perfect amount of stretch and dries 2x faster. The Summer/Fall 2009 Collection will have limited distribution to retailers such as American Rag, Ron Herman, Lizard Lounge, Blue Bee, and Jack’s on Chestnut.
