The Answer Is In The Question

“With ‘What Makes A Man’, we are exploring the brand’s legacy in today’s context, by projecting the initial vision of the founder onto the world of today – and the future. There is fashion, of course, but we are trying to tell a story in addition to it.

“Today, if you want to have a conversation with the people who are interested in a brand, or its potential customers, you have to be honest. This is why we don’t speak about any subjects that we don’t relate to, and also why we don’t want to attach any labels onto the brand if it was never so. The idea is to open up, and show who we truly are.
