ABOUT US
Carrying the namesake of its Los Angeles based designer, Hugh Simms, the label represents the style of "Ivy League Grit" with a belief that intelligence can come equipped with a strong arm and a hasty mind.
A believer of American craftsmanship, Simms prides himself on having his accessories and garments handmade in the United States of America and being part of the fashion revival of the once thriving LA manufacturing industry. “To make clothing with a true American style it needs be made by American hands,” says Simms. The HUGH SIMMS Caulfield Collection features neckwear with classic English prep school patterns, custom hand dyed and disheveled patchwork, and a fabric switch at the tail of the tie.
As CEO and Head Designer, Simms leads a team of experienced and highly accomplished colleagues that focus on successfully operating and expanding the HUGH SIMMS label. Amongst Simms team members are two close friends from Cornell University who have planned to launch a business together since their days in the Ivy League. Simms’s colleagues draw from past professional experiences in developing world-class brands, marketing luxury-hotel real estate, managing world-class nightclubs and operating premier cruise ships. Simms’s colleagues have also traveled to over 40 countries, completed an Ironman triathlon and raised money and awareness for people with disabilities by riding a bicycle 4,000 miles from S.F. to Washington D.C.
Additionally, HUGH SIMMS is proud to be partnering with The Workshop, a “creative collective” that builds brands through an integrated 360 degree marketing platform.
HUGH SIMMS is focused on developing into a global brand with the eventual launch of a full line of men’s, women’s and children’s apparel.
