YMC KNITS

YMC—short for You Must Create—was founded in 1995 by designers Fraser Moss and Jimmy Collins, who were stirred by the words of industrial designer Raymond Loewy: “You must create your own style.” The London-based label takes the view of clothing as a tool of self-expression and creates timeless wardrobe classics primed to be translated for personal style. Though workwear and streetwear styles ground the YMC aesthetic, it is also known for its embrace of themes collected from art, music, vintage styles of bygone eras, and the current zeitgeist. Decades on, YMC continues to forge its own path with its cool but collected ready-to-wear.
