New York – Xcel Brands has partnered with J.Queen New York to create a new luxury bedding and home decor collection under brand founded by legendary supermodel and entrepreneur Christie Brinkley
The collection will reflect the signature aesthetic of Tower Hill by Christie Brinkley, a lifestyle and apparel brand that launched in spring 2024 as an HSN exclusive. The home collection draws its inspiration from Brinkley’s home in Bridgehampton, N.Y., which she has filled over the years with items she collected from her travels all over the world
The collection will feature premium bedding ensembles, decorative pillows, throws, and home accents. Designed to elevate everyday living, the constructions will include refined details, premium materials, and versatile designs that convey comfort and livable luxury
“Christie’s impeccable taste and lifestyle vision align perfectly with J.Queen New York‘s reputation for quality and craftsmanship. Together, we have created a collection that we believe will resonate with consumers seeking timeless luxury for their homes,” said Robert D’Loren, chairman and CEO of Xcel Brands
Brinkley made history as the first model to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated for three consecutive years. Beyond her modeling career, she has appeared on Broadway and in London’s West End as Roxie Heart in the Tony Award-winning musical “Chicago.” She also is the recipient of numerous humanitarian awards and has served as a long-term Goodwill Ambassador for Smile Train
“Partnering with J. Queen New York has been a wonderful opportunity to combine timeless style, thoughtful details, and exceptional craftsmanship to help people create spaces they love coming home to,” she said
The collaboration marks J.Queen’s second major licensing relationship. In 2025, the company launched its first soft home collection for Salt Life, the lifestyle brand that celebrates ocean adventure and coastal living
“Our new partnership with Tower Hill by Christie Brinkley marks an exciting new chapter for J. Queen New York,” said Julie Brady, founder and owner of J. Queen New York. “This partnership allows us to continue growing our business, while staying true to the quality, design and values that have always defined our company.”
