ORLEBAR BROWN

Shorts you can swim in. Launching in 2007, this particularity made the London brand, Orlebar Brown stand out from the crowd. More than just a bathing suit, models named OB are suitable for the beach, the city, the poolside or for lounging on a sunny terrace bar. While on holiday, the brand's founder, Adam Brown picked up on men's and women's swimwear styles and noticed his friends' unflattering attire. He came up with an idea to design a costume that can be adjusted and adapted to suit different body shapes. After taking a week-long design course at London's Central Saint Martins, followed by three days' training, learning how to set up a business at the Portobello Business Centre, he spent the next eighteen months looking for a factory site and suitable suppliers. The founder focused on selecting materials and the design's structure, taking a tailored approach and offering a variety of lengths. A photographer prior to becoming a fashion designer, Adam Brown drew inspiration from 1960s' styles depicted in Slim Aaron's photos from the Côte d'Azur and Palm Beach. His collections exuded positive energy and were highly admired. Quickly, Orlebar Brown produced an entire collection including polo shirts, jackets, shirts and tracksuits to accompany the brand's signature model. Pieces were designed with an urban man in mind, about to escape to a tropical destination or perhaps his next spa weekend away. In 2018, Chanel bought the label, aligning it with another one of the group's brands, Eres, for its similar vision in terms of quality and craftsmanship.
The Spring-Summer 2020 collection is distinctive for its Californian influences featuring t-shirts adorned with palm trees and shorts printed with sunsets evoking unforgettable holidays. Sported by Agent 007 in the film Skyfall and by other celebrities including Jay-Z, Leonardo DiCaprio and David Cameron, Orlebar Brown has promising times ahead... > View more
