Macy's Debuts 'Mode Of One' Private Brand Men's Apparel
Macy’s said it spent more than two years concepting and designing Mode of One to ensure the customer’s voice is at the center. The brand reflects the extensive research conducted on men’s trends and style preferences and was inspired by street style, art, sports, music, technology and entertainment, officials with the department store said.
For the launch collection, Macy’s collaborated with graphic designer Tyrell Waiters who created original graphics and artwork and Ouigi Theodore, founder of The Brooklyn Circus, who served as the stylist for the collection.
Macy’s said Mode of One features multiple fits in different silhouettes to meet customers’ needs across occasions and enables those who seek bolder, statement-making styles to dress themselves in striking pieces that play with proportion. From the hoodies and graphic tees to cargo pants and suiting, Mode of One is made from quality materials that prioritize low-maintenance comfort and performance to help keep men looking great with minimal effort.
Mode of One launches with a social-first campaign featuring cast and creators that are representative of the community that the brand is created for – those who embrace style and expression with confidence and ease.
New York Knicks basketball stars Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart lead as the brand ambassadors of the Mode of One’s inaugural collection. Macy’s also tapped Atlanta-based barber VicBlends known for his podcast Deepcut, and New York City-based chef, author and restauranter, Kwame Onwuachi who has been featured as a contestant on Top Chef and has been recognized by Food & Wine magazine, Esquire magazine, and the James Beard Foundation as a “Rising Star Chef of the Year” to create social content for the launch.
