Nicholas Daley graduated from Central Saint Martins College in 2013 and launched his namesake label in 2015.

Since the brand’s genesis, Daley has continually explored his dual-ethnic heritage, being of Jamaican and Scottish descent; he widely questions and reflects the notion of multiculturalism within the British identity. Placing great significance on craftsmanship, all production is retained within the United Kingdom with internationally recognised manufacturers such as George Cox, Glenisla and Christys’ London, each creating bespoke textiles that redefine a vision of what we might associate with British heritage.

Daley was sponsored by The British Fashion Council’s NEWGEN program as part of London Collections: Men for spring and fall 2018. For his most recent presentation, the designer worked with the United Kingdom’s finest contemporary jazz musicians Yussef Dayes, Mansur Brown, Alfa Mist and Shabaka Hutchings, who played a rare live jazz session together. In such a way, the label has been able to cross the boundaries between music and fashion and this is reflected through the breadth of press received. The label is stocked within notable stores such as International Gallery Beams, Dover Street Market and The Bureau in Belfast.
