BOMBAY SAPPHIRE® is thrilled to announce the continuation of its partnership with renowned fashion designer Christian Siriano for the launch of its cocktail-inspired capsule collection. Literally and figuratively embodying holiday cocktail party attire, this curated ensemble builds on the success of Siriano's Bombay Sapphire French 75-inspired haute couture gown showcased at his 15th-anniversary show at New York Fashion Week this past September.

As part of BOMBAY SAPPHIRE's Saw This, Made This campaign, the collection showcases how visual inspiration can be transformed into tangible, one-of-a-kind creations. Each piece within this capsule collection – from a Martini Clutch, Bombay Sapphire & Tonic Blouse to an Ultimate Collins Blazer – embodies Siriano's distinctive aesthetic, seamlessly blending glamour and whimsy. Taking holiday sartorial success to new heights, the collection features the following:

  • Bombay Sapphire Martini Clutch: A chic, playful clutch inspired by the Bombay Martini, shaped like the iconic cocktail, and featuring subtle olive motifs—an elevated accessory for those seeking a touch of whimsy this holiday season.
  • Bombay Sapphire & Tonic Blouse: A shimmering blouse with pearl-white buttons down the front, capturing the effervescence of the Bombay Gin & Tonic – a holiday classic form that can be tailored according to the occasion. Blue and white flowers around the collar serve as a stylish accoutrement, whose essence is also captured in the accompanying cocktail ice.
  • Bombay Sapphire Ultimate Collins Blazer: A celebratory gold blazer with straight lines embodying the Bombay Ultimate Collins cocktail and its signature glass—sophistication with a festive touch, featuring a pop of BOMBAY SAPPHIRE's signature blue color.

Jaime Keller, Brand Director of BOMBAY SAPPHIRE North America, stated: "We are thrilled by the overwhelming response to the Saw This, Made This campaign since its launch in 2022. Our invitation encouraged people to recognize the creativity and beauty surrounding them. Christian Siriano's capsule collection stands as a testament to the intersection of creativity and elegance, encapsulating the spirit of this campaign. Through innovative design and inspired silhouettes, Siriano seamlessly translates the allure of BOMBAY SAPPHIRE cocktails into the realm of high fashion."

"As a designer, I see fashion as a canvas for storytelling. This collaboration with BOMBAY SAPPHIRE allowed me to weave the narratives of iconic gin cocktails into the very fabric of style. Each piece in this capsule collection tells a story of effervescence, sophistication, and celebration—capturing the spirit of BOMBAY SAPPHIRE in a wearable form. It's an exploration of creativity that goes beyond the expected, inviting individuals to infuse their own narratives into the art of fashion," stated Christian Siriano.

All proceeds from sales of the capsule collection will be donated by Christian Siriano to GLAAD, a non-profit LGBTQ advocacy organization focused on cultural change to ensure fair, accurate, and inclusive representation to advance LGBTQ acceptance.
