“When I began designing menswear, my inspiration came from the ease and traditions of
collegiate style and the gentleman athlete. It was about character and camaraderie, a
timeless style they made their own. I loved the oldness, the craftsmanship, the utility
that wove together an individuality of ease, eclectic mystique, and a romantic
sophistication. My Spring 2027 collections for Purple Label and Polo are inspired by
that spirit. My approach has always been cinematic, creating visual stories, and
aspirational worlds. Each a tribute to the personality of the man who lives to push
creativity, competition and expressions of personal style to the limit.”
