Following collaborations with Louis Vuitton and Sacai, the designer behind Ambush talks disaffected youth and new male attitudes to jewellery.
“Asian men tends to be more fluid and delicate with their style because they are less restricted by the ideals of masculinity, thus more playful when it comes to accessorising” – Yoon, Ambush
Ambush has had a lot of hype and of course you have a lot of cool celebrity endorsement. How do you avoid the pitfalls of fast-paced hype to build a brand with longevity?
Yoon: We believe in an organic process of growth. We don’t do forced paid advertising with people we don’t know. It just happens that some of our friends are well-known people in the industry and they are showing love because they believe in what we create. Also, customers are too smart for that now. They will see right through what’s unnatural.

Nice in depth article by BoF with the founders of Common Projects, Peter Poopat and Flavio Giralami...
'Girolami and Poopat first met in the mid-1990s at a bar in New York’s East Village and soon decided to work on collaborative “projects” together. Both were avid sneaker enthusiasts; Stan Smiths, Air Jordan 1s and Chuck Taylors were some of their favourite go-to models, which later provided the inspiration for some of their own footwear. However, as their tastes evolved neither of them could find the more aesthetically refined and high quality sneakers they were increasingly looking for. “We didn’t want to wear Converse anymore,” says Girolami.'
'We try to do something that is classic and timeless,” says Girolami. “You only get to introduce yourself once,” adds Poopat. “We approach each thing like it’s a first impression and we try not to fuck that up.'
