As H-D Collections evolves, additional lines and collaborations will be introduced and designed by Louise and her team, based out of the H-D Design Studio in New York City.

Here’s what Jochen Zeitz, Chairman, President and CEO, Harley-Davidson had to say about this upcoming new release:

“With H-D Collections we’re excited to celebrate two elements of our heritage: design and Craftsmanship. H-D Collections brings together the many facets of moto-culture lifestyle, paying tribute to our heritage with both Harley-Davidson Originals and Authorized Vintage, while pushing the limits of design, form and function with Bar & Shield.”

Additionally, Creative Director Louise Goldin shared with ONE37pm a bit about her vision for the Bar & Shield collection specifically:

"When I came to Harley-Davidson, I had this idea about starting a collection 'inside' of Harley, and my first point of view was this bike, and the way that it was engineered along with the craftsmanship. A lot of my work has been about the construction of engineering and innovation, so I really dove into working with the elements behind this brand. Instead of just putting energy into the idea of it and the silhouette, I really thought about the feeling and creating this collection with ease.

H-D Collections will be available for purchase online at www.hdcollections.com beginning March 9th. In the meantime, be sure to keep up with us for more style news and content.
