Laura Ashley and Marquee Brands Launch Exclusive Kentucky Derby Fashion Collection With The Tie Bar and Brianna Cannon
Marquee Brands and Laura Ashley have announced an exclusive Kentucky Derby® men’s and women’s fashion and accessories collection with The Tie Bar and fashion designer Brianna Cannon.
The commemorative collaboration celebrates the spirit of the Derby with a 26-piece range of stylish garments and accessories featuring seven storied Laura Ashley prints that pay tribute to the prestigious horse races. The collection includes pieces honoring the Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Oaks, and Churchill Downs. The racetrack’s iconic green can be seen in the heritage green rose print and a design featuring thoroughbreds racing among green trees. The archival rose prints were chosen as a nod to the Kentucky Derby’s logo and the iconic winners’ rose garland.
The Tie Bar, one of the most trusted voices in sartorial style, has created a 16-piece Kentucky Derby® X Laura Ashley by The Tie Bar collection, merging the menswear designers’ craftsmanship and fashion-forward neckwear and accessories with Laura Ashley’s timeless prints. The fashion accessories collection ($18-$44) features an elegant assortment of ties, bow ties, suspenders, pocket squares, and an exclusive Kentucky Derby tie clip for men, as well as women’s bandanas, ribbon bows, and a tote.
The Kentucky Derby® X Laura Ashley by Brianna Cannon collection captures the essence of the Derby and the Run for the Roses® with a 10-piece fashion capsule ($85-$320) featuring Laura Ashley’s archival prints, including women’s dresses and caftans, sweatshirts, T-shirts, and coordinating signature headbands. To honor the Kentucky Oaks, the rose print dress features gold horseshoe and pink lily detailing. The line also includes a green and white Churchill Downs sweatshirt, a headband and sweatshirt in matching Mint Julep motifs, as well as T-shirts and sweatshirts with a horseshoe and rose to nod to the Derby’s logo.
