Orlebar Brown x Gerry McGovern

Orlebar Brown has collaborated with the design director of Land Rover, Gerry McGovern, on a capsule collection.

“This collaboration brings together two of my passions; contemporary art and design and sartorial elegance. The opportunity to bring some of my thinking around the importance of modern art in today’s aesthetic environment is matched by Adam [Brown’s] commitment to delivering a true customisation of a globally renowned product,” McGovern shared.” In doing so, I believe we have delivered a unique vision for the individualism shared by both brands.”
