Slow fashion for the discerning gentlemen.
At the core of PATER et FILIUS is the reinvention of the good old boxers to offer men a perfectly fitting and visually appealing piece of underwear. The story of this premium men's lifestyle and fashion brand is all about masculinity, elegance and non-conformity.

It all started with the design of the fabric prints for the very first collection. Over the years I could not only design the brand identity, do art direction on shootings and set up the website, but also engage in shaping this luxury brand by becoming a partner.

Typography, esthetics and materials needed to represent the brand's commitment to class and quality as well as its understanding of style. Bold coloured products were balanced with a simple and minimal typography and expressive black-and-white brand imagery.

The swimwear collection AQUA has been launched, the first hand-made bow ties are finished and new patterns are in the making too. So stay tuned and follow us on Facebook, Instagram or both.
