Jack Kerouac inspires outerwear debut
Thursday, May 24, 2007

(NEW YORK) Hogan will unveil its first-ever outerwear piece on Tuesday, when the Tod's Group-owned brand debuts the Jack Kerouac Project, a capsule collection of six leather goods pieces inspired by the Beat novelist, writer, poet, and artist, which will be available exclusively at Paris retailer Colette for one month. In addition to the $1,590 bomber style jacket, the collection consists of two styles of shoes (a $295 high top sneaker and a $475 working boot) and three bags (a travel bag, book bag, and back pack priced from $950 to $1,290). Colette will celebrate the launch by showcasing a series of photographs influenced by Kerouac's novel On the Road in its iconic rue Saint-Honoré store windows. Following its debut at Colette, the collection will be available in all Hogan stores worldwide beginning in July.
