Blake Patterson launches new capsule collection with unity theme

Fashion designer Blake M. Patterson just announced its first mid-luxury ready-to-wear line. The designer released its collection just in time for the holidays as a lifestyle line including high-quality pieces with a special message.

The PUTIN Capsule Collection combines both everyday clothing along with a bit of street style. The collection includes seasonal t-shirts, hoodies, sweaters, wool scarfs and more. The launch came from Patterson's past experience on Project Runway, where he joined the cast of the show's 14th season. He also showcased projects including an "unconventional materials challenge" for Macy's Front Row 2015 as well. He first launched his brand in 2016 with a modern, sophisticated style for women and men.

Moving forward, Patterson has put out this new launch with a message a unity and peace, reflecting the collection's name in honor of Russian leader Vladimir Putin. "I wanted to create something different that has unique messaging while still staying on trend," Patternson said in a statement. The brand is launching on Etsy as well as additional shopping sites to follow shortly.
