Franklin And Marshall
Franklin and Marshall has
achieved iconic status – look
down any cool, urban street
and you’ll find an F&M top
being sported. The brand
originated in 1999, created by
two young entrepreneurs,
Giuseppe Albarelli and Andrea
Pensiero and focused on
vintage-influenced designs.
For them, the word ‘vintage’
conjured up memories of that
single item of clothing that
becomes a memory of a special
moment in life and, like a
fine wine, improves with age.
The ‘vintage’ style tee-shirt
and sweatshirt is just such an
item, and Franklin and
Marshall have taken this
concept to the highest level.
The brand is now sold in more
than 20 countries worldwide
and is as popular now as it
was when it first burst onto
the fashion scene.
The popularity of the
‘vintage’ sweatshirt, designed
to mimic the college football
shirts of the US, has spawned
a raft of imitators, but
there’s still only one genuine
Franklin and Marshall
identity. Quality, wearability
and a casual, vintage look
loved by everyone has kept
Franklin and Marshall at the
top of the best sellers list.
