Partner & Creative Director

Work made with other houses, mills and makers, from a sneaker woven in Japan to capsule collections, retail concepts and board seats.

Some of it was product. Some of it was a point of view a brand needed and did not yet have. In every case the job was the same: make the thing good, and make it possible to produce at the price and the volume the business needed.

What the work covered

  • Capsule and collaboration design
  • Fabric development with mills and laundries
  • Retail and showroom concepts
  • Board and advisory work

  • Richemont, Van Cleef & Arpels with Earnest Sewn, and Chloé
  • Canada Goose, Diesel and Helmut Lang
  • Common Projects, Telfar and Repetto
  • Milk Studios, the Milk Bar in New York
