Fashion Informed By Airstream
Born out of Art Deco and driven for decades by an endless curiosity to see what’s over the next hill, Airstream has been around the world, down the highways, the backroads, the dirt and gravel roads, to places where sometimes there were no roads at all. They’ve been used as music studios, tattoo parlors, restaurants and cocktail bars, housed astronauts, actors, and more. You name it, they’ve done it.
Airstream goes everywhere and it attracts everyone – the fashionable, the on-trend, the avant-garde, the pathmakers.
And now they’ve hit the runway with a fashion collection inspired by this iconic symbol of freedom, adventure, and exploration.
