let's launch a men's leisurewear brand
During my final year as Creative Director for Bespoke Post’s Private Labels, I led the launch of a new menswear brand. Collaborating with Design Director Evan Glason and Brand Director Dan Hendricks, we refined the brand’s aesthetic and positioning in record time, debuting a capsule of heritage-inspired French terry in under 12 months.

french terry
We used our flagship line of french terry to announce the values of our brand: rugged heritage construction combined with the highest level of modern comfort. Crafted with custom-developed loopback French terry fabrics, we delivered the hard-earned softness you expect from grail vintage shop finds, but perfectly soft out of the box.
bottoms
We complemented our launch capsule with a few versatile shorts and joggers.
branding & packaging
We established a minimalist brand identity that took cues from vintage athletics and utility-grade sportswear, giving the brand a sense of lived-in warmth and familiarity.
