The Label
editDrawing on varied inspirations, from illustrations by the Japanese artists Sirichai to tribal and ethnic art, the upscale menswear label offers unique yet comfortable clothing.[2] The debut collection, which included masked skins with colorful patterns created media buzz[3] and led to a collaboration with Henrik Vibskov for the cover of Dazed & Confused.[1] PETROU\MAN is known for combining the comfort of sportswear with the elegance and timelessness of tailored high-end menswear and with a special focus on textures and color.[4] With tribal and ethnic influences from Guatemala to West Africa, the label has been hailed "as a beacon for alternative menswear".[5]
Stores
editThe collection is available at stores worldwide, such OAK in New York, I.T. and Joyce in Hong Kong, and SHIPS in Japan.[5] The collection is also available at MACHINE-A in London[6]
