Hurley Launches Its First Global Campaign with Travis Barker
In a groundbreaking partnership, Hurley, the renowned lifestyle and apparel brand, has unveiled its first-ever global brand ambassador campaign, showcasing music legend Travis Barker as its face. This collaboration is not just a campaign; it marks the fusion of Hurley's heritage with Barker's artistic influence, embodying the vibrant spirit of Southern California's counterculture.
Set against the backdrop of California's iconic landscapes, the campaign features an exclusive capsule collection that includes a variety of apparel and accessories designed with Barker's unique flair. From camo print tees to skull motifs, the collection reflects a blend of punk aesthetics with surf culture, appealing to a broad demographic that resonates with both Barker's punk roots and Hurley's beach lifestyle ethos.
The clothes include classic chinos, shorts, and stylish one-pieces alongside the innovative boardshort technology that Hurley is known for. Complementing these pieces, accessories such as sunglasses, footwear, and hats complete the collection, providing fans and fashion enthusiasts with an array of stylish options.
Barker's Enduring Connection to Hurley
Travis Barker's relationship with the Hurley brand spans over two decades, taking root within the energetic pop-punk scene of the early 2000s. During his time in the limelight with Blink-182, Barker was often seen rocking Hurley gear, living out a quintessential California lifestyle that fans embraced. This new collaboration tangibly illustrates that enduring connection he has had with the brand.
Joey Gabbay, CEO of the parent company Bluestar Alliance, elaborated on the significance of this collaboration: "This partnership beautifully captures the essence of Hurley's journey from its early roots to its current status as an internationally recognized brand. The synergy between Hurley's spirit and Travis's artistic vision has manifested into something both powerful and exhilarating. We strive for authenticity in everything we do, and collaborating with a legendary artist like Travis allows us to achieve that dream."
The campaign is filmed in Barker's personal studio and iconic California settings, showcasing not only the creative fusion between Hurley and Barker but also a glimpse into the musician's life. Surrounded by his instruments and personal collectibles, including vintage cars and motorcycles, the imagery highlights Barker’s rebellious personality, celebrating creativity and innovation.
Barker himself has expressed his excitement about the collection: "This collection embodies everything I love about the lifestyle I live. It’s poetic and chaotic, a beautiful contradiction that works. It’s designed for punk rock kids, surfers, and those who can’t help but create. The freedom I was given during this process truly reflects in the designs and the final products."
