We ask our brands for their personal insight on starting up a clothing brand – from building a design concept to seeing your first collection drop!
Welcome to our new Brand Stories series, where we ask our brands to share their honest experiences with starting up a clothing brand.
If you’re visiting our blog for the first time, chances are you’re a budding clothing brand owner in the first stages of launching your clothing collection. It’s super exciting but also a little daunting maybe. Ever wondered how it feels to be on the other side of your first collection drop? In this new series, we interview our brand owners to get honest insight into their experience.
Meet our first brand story from STREET WHERE.

Andrew is an artist based in Birmingham who translated his photography of litter and detritus found on the city’s streets firstly into sculptures, and then into a seriously cool clothing range.

With simple, oversized, bang-on-trend silhouettes and unique statement graphics, Street Where’s collection is everything we love! It’s always exciting to watch our brands vision grown and help it come to life. But what’s the brand-owner’s perspective?
Watch our interview with Andrew below to find out;
- The inspiration behind his clothing range and how he developed the concept and clear vision for his brand.
- Unexpected aspects of the design and manufacture process and what he might do differently.
- Top priorities for any brand owner.
- Proudest moments and how it feels to be a part of the clothing industry.
