A dash of heritage and motorsport-inspired style executed in superior quality, beautifully crafted materials. Those qualities – which could also describe any of the vehicles in Bentley’s range – sum up the new 1919 Collection, a seasonal release of apparel designed by Mai Ikuzawa.
Ikuzawa, who is Bentley’s External Creative Director, has familial roots in both design and motorsport. Her father Tetsue was a pioneering Japanese racing driver and team owner, and her grandfather was an artist. She deftly combines both influences in her work and is never happier than when inhabiting the pit-lane among Crewe’s past Le Mans winning cars.
The 1919 Collection by Mai Ikuzawa pays tribute to Bentley’s storied past, but the style and cut is unmistakably 2026. Highlight of the range is a mechanic’s chore coat, while other items include a crew neck sweat, polo shirt, tee-shirt and peaked cap.
