Money Clothing: Making an Authoritative History
There are many clothing and fashion brands. However, only a handful could weave a unique history. Money Clothing is undeniably one of those very few. Find out why the brand is among the most talked about and sought-after these days.
Money Clothing was established in 2003 by couturiers Nick Cordell and Melvyn de Villiersm. It was initially founded to be a line of urban clothing that would change the face of modern fashion. In 2004, Takashi ‘Maru' Marujo entered into the design team to make a formidable trio in the fashion scene. Together, the three designers began making their own fashion history through designing and creating urban clothes that would make wearers proud not just of the label but also of the product quality.
The three couturiers proudly and enthusiastically designed urban clothes that have been sprinkled with their very own personal dose of style and attitude. The three represented three traits that make Money: street cred, urban swagger, and the unique Japanese attention to every detail. The three obviously made Money clothing a product of their obsession to quality. Thus, aside from having the natural flair, the brand has been noted for the highest quality of materials as well as textiles used. The level of depth exuded by the collaboration is until now not even nearly rivalled.
The brand name Money definitely is intently connected with a distinct pair of significant factors: King Ape Device which is prominently viewed among most products and the Dollar Jeans. The two jeans showcase authentic note of quality all around the world, wherever they are distributed. The jeans are also unique in that real bills or notes of various currencies are attached to them: the US dollar, the Columbian Peso, and the English Pound, among others. The bills could be found on top of the pants' right-hand pockets.
Such unique features have made Money Clothing popular. They gave the brand a significant turbo charge all throughout their exhibitions at fashion shows and exhibits. The brand even stood out at the ‘Magic' fashion event at Las Vegas in Nevada.
During the early days of the company, Money was able to specialize in making graphic tees as well as sweatshirts. In fact, its King Ape logo is still considered as a reputable trademark for sweats. Among the brand's early best sellers remain well loved even today. They include the printed Pornoflage logo, which is a fusion of topless 1970s starlets and camouflage. The Apetooth Check is also very much visible these days. It features a geometric pattern known in King Ape's head.
Money in Italy
Even the discerning Italian market seemed to be mesmerized by Money Clothing. The brand soon decided to work together with several major Italian attire makers. The collaborations were aimed at making sure their respective products carry the finest achievable quality.
The specific excellence has coordinated with perfect design and style. It was long before Money Clothing was seen in good light and admiration by the meticulous Italian consumers. Italian sports stars like football players Luca Toni and Alberto Gilardino spearheaded that admiration.
Soon the popularity of Money dominated the Italian fashion scene. The young and the stylish people had no other brand but Money in their minds. Up to date, the brand is still among the most desired and admired labels in the Italian fashion scene.
Brand Diversification
As time moved on, Money Clothing has diversified to make its collections cater to a wider consumer and fan base. Although the trademark remained in its flagship tees, the design trio focused all the more to create more tasteful and innovative clothes using unique and ideal fabrics. Maru outsourced suppliers from Japan for the brand's vintage looms of denim jeans. Money decided to work with 1950s French Terry jersey maker for its sweatshirts while it forged a deal in Wakayama for its knits.
Cordell, de Villiersm, and Marujo were all thrilled to realise the success of their own brand. They logically desire to see Money move further. Thus, the three broadened their articles to preserve variations where they are most prominent and well loved. They further added distinction to their own style to make products that are more sophisticated and are cleaner.
In the recent years, the brand was able to put up and add another clothing line within its ward, the Money SevenFifty. The new line, like its predecessor, specializes in making graphic tees, denims, leather jackets, jewelries, and shoes. It is currently available in stores across London, Leeds, Manchester, Dubai, Manchester, Edinburgh, Belfast, Newcastle, and Glasgow.
Celebrity Fans
As a startup, Money Clothing was logically not keen on major and million dollar endorsements. But its quality and fashion sense spread like wildfire; thanks to many iconic celebrities who openly express their admiration for the brand through wearing distinct Money Clothing products.
David Beckham and his wife Victoria were spotted sometime in 2006 wearing the brand. The couple has a penchant for boosting the status of startup fashion brands they patronize. Later on, recording star TI was seen sporting an 18-carat gold studded belt from Money during an MTV Awards appearance. The jewellery was said to have cost TI about $40,000.
Within its fruitful six years in the industry, Money Clothing has truly attracted many other A-list celebrities as fans. The brand's foremost admirers and patrons include American hip-hop stars Chris Brown, Jay Z, Neo, Ray J, TQ, and Lil Bow Wow.
Money has also been the top favourite of European soccer superstars like Alberto Gilardino, Jay Simpsons, Shaun Cummings, and Ashley Cole. Other celebrities in the list include Shaun Parks, Adam Deacon, Jason Punchen, Amir Khan, Leo Gregory, and Warren Brown.
Indeed, in just a span of only several years, Money was able to accomplish what it possibly deemed non-accomplishable when it started in 2003. Now, the brand is undoubtedly well admired and well known all around the world. The Money brand is not just youthful and cool; it is also amazing and successful. No wonder that Money continues to get noticed by more celebrities and people from different fields and professions in a global scale.
