#35 Daniel Gayle, Founder & Director of DenzilPatrick (Menswear Brand)
This week we’re meeting with Daniel Gayle, the founder and director of the menswear brand DenzilPatrick.
The London based designer previously worked for many established brands such as Philip Lim, Kenzo and Victoria Beckham. There he got a real insight of what was managing a business and setting up its creative vision.
Who thought that launching a brand in those days and standing out was still possible ? Well, Daniel makes it real with his will of expressing his own artistic vocabulary. At the essence of the brand is everything that defines him and what he thought was missing in the fashion industry. Experimenting is at the core of his process. He let himself time to create garments that are relevant for the people that make them as well as for the consumer. Sourcing pre-existing materials and exploring different crafting techniques, a playfulness stands out from the pieces with different colors, fabrics and patterns.
In this episode, Daniel reveals all his process as a young brand, from his ambition to put creativity and a sustainable business together, sourcing pre-existing materials and engaging a fair approach to garments.
