The wait is over. "The Edit by Alexa", the collection curated by Alex Chung for Barbour is finally available to add a touch of casual vintage to your autumnal wardrobe.

After sparking interest at Glastonbury, "The Edit by Alexa" A/W 2024/25 collection for Barbour officially launched in-store and online.


About The Edit by Alexa Collection

Alexa Chung has taken on the role of Creative Director and Designer for Barbour’s new collection, "The Edit, by Alexa Chung" Collaborating closely with Barbour’s in-house team, Chung drew inspiration from vintage styles to create a fresh take on classic autumnal outerwear clothing, and, for the first time, wellington boots.

Reflecting on her lifelong connection with Barbour, Alexa said, “I am so pleased to be exploring a new chapter with Barbour. Designing this collection was a total joy. My intention was to create something immediate that reflects my wardrobe, interests and style in this moment while staying true to the brand’s epic heritage.”

From childhood rides through the fields of Hampshire to stomping through the mud at Glastonbury, Alexa has been wearing Barbour jackets all her life. As Creative Director of the collection, she brings her long-standing relationship with Barbour into every piece.

The collection features wax jackets with tartan liners, colourful quilted jackets, and knitwear crafted by Harleys of Scotland. It also introduces footwear, including short wellingtons inspired by Alexa’s Chelsea boot and a versatile slip-on clog.

“It was such an easy decision to work with Alexa again this season as she is so synonymous with the brand, having worn Barbour from being a child. Using Barbour’s archive and Scottish tartan heritage, Alexa infused her personality to create a timeless collection of modern wardrobe essentials, which we are so excited to launch to our customers globally." – commented Paul Wilkinson, Barbour Group Commercial Director.
