Patrick Dempsey moves into fashion design

Patrick Dempsey is trying his hand at fashion design with a new clothing collaboration.

The US actor has teamed up with the Malibu-based lifestyle brand Bleusalt on a six-piece capsule collection of luxurious separates, WWD reports. The range features two trouser styles for men, as well as a polo, blazer and cap, and a more fitted blazer for women, and will come in soft, neutral shades. It is set to go on sale on June 20.

The capsule collection was designed with comfort, luxury and travel in mind. "We put in pockets for your passport, wallet, glasses, all that stuff," Dempsey told WWD. "The pants are really comfortable on a long flight. They're like sweatpants but more defined."
