We all know Lestat de Lioncourt is one of the most fashionable vampires ever to grace our screens, so it makes perfect sense to give fans the opportunity to dress just like him. AMC has partnered with Spanish fashion label Palomo to release an exclusive capsule collection inspired by The Vampire Lestat, and fans can now get their hands on the hottest pieces to wear when it premieres on June 7.
The collection includes sixteen items, ranging from t-shirts and hats to capes, dresses, and accessories, ranging across both menswear and womenswear. Some of the more unique pieces include a white button-down shirt embellished with red Swarovski crystals to mimic blood splatter, a red and black jacket made of ostrich feathers, and two high-fashion gowns perfect for attending one of Lestat’s gigs.
“Designing this capsule for The Vampire Lestat became an exploration of a shared universe, where the theatrical language of PALOMO meets Lestat’s magnetic, provocative spirit,” says Alejandro Gómez Palomo, founder and creative director of the fashion house. “There’s an instinctive dialogue between the brand’s romantic, expressive identity and his emotional complexity, each piece telling a story that blurs the boundary between fashion and character, elegance and rebellion.”
But don’t be fooled by the brand partnership — Lestat spares no expense on himself, so the Palomo collection isn’t cheap either. Even the least expensive items, which include a baseball cap and two t-shirts featuring embellished sayings like “it’s my era now,” run upwards of $100 USD. (On the other end of the spectrum, the ostrich feather jacket cost a whopping $7,500. Much like I’m sure Lestat’s victims would say: ouch!)
The Vampire Lestat, better known as the third season of Interview With the Vampire, features the return of Sam Reid as Lestat, now firmly in his rockstar era. Also returning for Season 3 are Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, and Delainey Hayles, as well as new addition Jennifer Ehle. The season’s synopsis is as follows:
Resentful of the perfunctory portrayal in the trashy bestseller “Interview with the Vampire,” the Vampire Lestat (Sam Reid) sets his story straight in a way only the Vampire Lestat can—by starting a band and going on tour. Gabriella. Nicholas. Magnus. Marius. Those Who Must Be Kept. They join Louis, Armand, Molloy, Sam, Raglan, Fareed and others we can’t tell you about yet on a sexy pilgrimage across space, time and trauma. No Auto-Tuning. No Trigger Warnings. All Feels Amplified.
The Vampire Lestat premieres on AMC and AMC+ on June 7, and the Palomo collection is available now on their website.
