Current/Elliott + The Vampire's Wife collaboration

Susie Cave - then Susie Bick - ran away from boarding school on a milk float aged fourteen. Soon after, she was discovered by Steven Meisel and became muse to Guy Bourdin, Helmut Newton and Nick Knight, among others. With ivory skin, blacker-than-black hair and pale orbs for eyes, the It Girl captured hearts the world over. One such heart was that of Nick Cave, otherwise known as ‘The Prince of Darkness’ and frontman of Nick Cave & The Bad Sees, whom she married in 1999.

Her brand The Vampire’s Wife launched into the stratosphere in 2016, and has since enjoyed a steady rise to become the label of the moment, with Kate Moss, Sienna Miller, Alexa Chung, Salma Hayek, Beyonce and more consistently pictured in the designs.

Now, its partnered up with Current/Elliott to create a gorgeous capsule collection for Holiday 2019. The brands have teamed up to infuse The Vampire’s Wife’s 'Old Hollywood hand' aesthetic with Current/Elliott’s 'borrowed from the boys' West Coast ease – creating an 10‐piece assortment in denim, leather, liberty floral and knits. Cave’s signature ruffle‐rimmed 'Kate' dress has been re‐imagined in denim and leather, alongside both culotte and high‐waisted, wide‐leg pant silhouettes.

'I am delighted to have collaborated with Current/Elliott,' says Susie Cave, Founder and Creative Director of The Vampire’s Wife. 'I am very excited to see my classic ‘Mini Kate’ dress in black leather and denim, and have loved designing the perfect pair of Led Zeppelin inspired jeans and blouses. And, of course I have to thank my idol Cher, and her classic denim look, for being my inspiration.The Current/Elliott +

The Vampire’s Wife collection retails from $128 to $1,028 and will become available for Holiday 2019, on currentelliott.com, in Current/Elliott stores, and with select retailers worldwide.
