CAL COLWELL

Aimé Leon Dore has established itself at the intersection of luxury, streetwear, and classic menswear. Founded in 2014 by Teddy Santis, the brand draws inspiration from New York’s diverse culture, blending nostalgia, craftsmanship, and contemporary aesthetics. This collection will extend ALD’s storytelling by tapping into another essential aspect of New York City—its vibrant culinary scene. Food, much like fashion, is a form of artistic expression, and ALD’s strong sense of community and heritage makes it the perfect brand to further explore this connection. By creating a capsule collection inspired by chef uniforms and culinary craftsmanship, ALD gets a new lifestyle extension, bridging the gap between two creative industries all while staying true to the brand’s DNA.
