FAVOURITE FASHION BRAND – ROWING BLAZERS
Sport, nostalgia, colour.
Rowing Blazers is an American fashion brand and a design lab for the classics, founded by Jack Carlson, a three-time United States national rowing team member.
They are most notably known for their blazers, rugby shirts, and other apparel, as well as their “preppy” style, collaborations, and limited-edition capsules. Most notably, the brand integrates an eclectic mix of influences, such as sport, nostalgia, the ’80s and ’90s cultural trends, Oxbridge style, and streetwear. All of which stem from Carlson’s interests.
As a fashion brand, they are committed to generating products that can last a lifetime. At Rowing Blazers, they work to upcycle waste materials: their end-of-the-day rugby shirts, their face masks, and their patchwork tweed are all made from upcycled scraps of fabric that would typically be considered waste.
Even as a small, young, New York-based brand, they are also a diverse, global community. They are known for their collaborations with like-minded brands, big and small, but they also serve as a platform for causes and movements in which they believe, regularly donating to a wide range of charitable organisations, including their principal charitable partner, Row New York.
Rowing Blazers is my favourite fashion brand as they show dedication to authenticity and quality, as well as inclusivity, sustainability, and fun.
