English Laundry

The English Laundry brand, launched in 2010, is home to unique apparels distinctly British. With a combination of elegant charm and high quality materials, it quickly garnered many fans in England, the USA and all over the world. Today, the line is carried in over 4,000 retail locations in North America, Canada, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand.

After the success of its men’s wear collection, English Laundry has branched out and now offers wardrobe for women, footwear, and fragrances. This is all thanks to the genius behind the brand, designer and creator Christopher Wicks. Starting as a young designer for one of England’s top shirt manufacturers, he quickly established his name in the fashion industry and launched his own business.

Wicks’ distinctive designs are inspired by his passion for music and fashion. He also pays homage to his hometown, Manchester, through his creative ideas. Specializing in men’s evening attire, Wicks later introduced his sportswear line, which was also enthusiastically received by customers from different parts of the world.

In 2010, Wicks was awarded by the Fashion Industry Guild of Cedars Sinai Medical Center as “Man of the Year”, an accolade previously given to bigwigs like Maurice Marciano of Guess and Dov Charney of American Apparel. Not long after, the Otis College of Design presented him with the honor of being the 2012 Designer of Choice.

The English Laundry fragrance, one of the newest creations of Wicks, is quickly gaining the approval of scent aficionados. There are over ten different scents in various sizes offered in the market as of today.
