Hard Rock Cafe® And PacSun Partner To Launch Limited-Edition Merchandise Collection

HOLLYWOOD, Fla., Sept. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Hard Rock Cafe^®, an iconic global dining and entertainment brand, and PacSun, a leading contemporary, streetwear and active lifestyle retailer, announced the launch of a collaboration that brings a first-of-its-kind merchandise collection to fans nationwide. This limited-edition collection, inspired by 1970's-1980's fashion, will feature vintage-washed tee shirts, crewneck and hooded sweatshirts and hats that reflect the unique and authentic personalities of both brands. Items are available at PacSun retail stores nationwide and online at www.pacsun.com/hard-rock-cafe.

The limited-edition collection features the globally recognized Hard Rock Cafe logo alongside well-known Hard Rock Cafe properties including Los Angeles, Maui, Amsterdam, London and Paris. Additional items will highlight Hard Rock's^® core mottos including All Is One and Save the Planet. Each piece of the collection has been washed, treated and distressed to provide a truly vintage, worn-in feel.

"We are thrilled to announce this exclusive partnership with a leading retailer like PacSun to bring this limited-edition collection to our fans nationwide," said Benito Mendez, VP, Merchandising, eCommerce & Licensing at Hard Rock International. "Drawing inspiration from the decades Hard Rock Cafe and PacSun were founded is a great way to highlight unique elements of our past and celebrate two iconic brands' footprints on pop culture."

PacSun was established in Los Angeles in 1980 and continues to be inspired by the vintage clothing trend within the streetwear community. The introduction of vintage Hard Rock apparel delivers an exclusive collection of trend-setting style from yesterday to a community of inspired youth.

"Our customers seek products that register the vintage look and feel that's become so popular in today's society," said Brie Olson, Chief Merchandising Officer for PacSun. "Collaborating with Hard Rock has provided us with an exciting opportunity to pay homage to the iconic global brand while sparking interest in our current audience to bring sought after items of the thrift shopping realm into our stores."

As an encore, fans who purchase an item from the collection will receive a card to redeem a free All-American Slider Starter* from participating Hard Rock Cafe locations while supplies last.
