As a child, my father’s nightly ritual of reading shark books sparked my fascination with the ocean. Growing up in a Massachusetts beach town, surfing and swimming were integral to my life. Now, through this menswear collection, I blend the tailored elegance of my father’s suits with the essence of surf culture, inspired by those early shark books. Using sustainable materials—like Super 120 wool, dead stock neoprene, recycled rope, and organic indigo-dyed hemp denim—this eco-conscious collection honors both my upbringing and the ocean’s beauty, aiming to raise awareness of our impact.
