7thMan Introduces design duo ’ The Orphan’s Arms’
When starting out in 2010 with a stall at Bricklane market, design duo The Orphan's Arms, never expected that their hand printed tees, tanks and sweaters would get such a massive response from clientele and press.
Recognising the lack of creativity and originality behind casual labels currently for sale,Joshua Wilks & Jay Shipley, created a label that takes a stand without being overbearing.
Instead they have chanelled their design energy towards a line that is exceptionally crafted, full of English humour & irony and incorporated elements that created a balance between English Heritage and contemporary manufacture.
Featuring simple yet classic shapes represented in colours ranging from traditional ivoriesand creams, to blue marls and silky peaches,The Orphan's Arms is now available at Dover Street Market, Urban Outfitters, Beyond the Valley & Young British Designers.
