PUBLIC SCHOOL is a New York-based fashion brand founded in 2008 by designers Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne. The brand is known for its unique blend of high and low references from fashion, music, and art, creating a new look that is both masculine and precisely detailed. The duo designs and manufactures their full range of products entirely in New York, incorporating fabric from the best Italian, Japanese, and American mills, emphasizing the brand's commitment to producing only the finest quality garments.
In 2010, PUBLIC SCHOOL was the sole emerging menswear brand chosen by the Council of Fashion Designers of America to be part of the inaugural FASHION INCUBATOR business development program. The brand's dedication to moving one hundred percent of production to New York City has reinforced its ability to infuse the attitude of their hometown into their designs.
The brand received significant recognition in the industry, with the prestigious CFDA Swarovski Award for Menswear in June 2013 and the 2013 CFDA VOGUE Fashion Fund Award in November 2013, solidifying its position as a leading player in the fashion landscape.
PUBLIC SCHOOL's strong ties to New York City and its focus on craftsmanship have resonated with local tailors, pattern makers, and skilled garment workers, fostering genuine and personal experiences throughout the development process.
With its innovative approach to men's tailored sportswear and commitment to local production, PUBLIC SCHOOL has established itself as a prominent player in the E-Commerce, Fashion, and Retail industries, drawing attention from potential investors seeking to support brands with a strong emphasis on quality and authenticity.
