Shaun Samson
Shaun Samson is a California-born British-trained menswear designer launching his label under his own namesake in 2011. His personality and approach comes from growing up in the laid-back suburban surf-Mecca of San Diego, where throughout his youth he was inspired by the surrounding myriad of street-styles.
Samson caused a sensation when his Mexican-inspired collection debuted with MAN last season. His SS12 collection was snapped up by a host of stockists including Selfridges, Joyce, Opening Ceremony NY and LA, Trading Museum/ Comme des Garcons Japan.
He designs ‘Men’s Modern Street Wear.’, inspired by growing up in San Diego with its mix of relaxed surf and street styles. He believes the modern man’s wardrobe should be wearable, effortless and special.
Samson studied Fashion Design in Los Angeles and Manufacturing and Product Development at FIDM. He built on these two degrees with a BA and MA in Fashion Menswear from Central St. Martins. He juggled his studies whilst working simultaneously for Jeremy Scott and won the prestigious ITS # 10 prize for his graduate collection.
