Marfa
Lights
Our Spring/Summer 2018 collection celebrates art, nature and individuality.
The gentlemen featured in our campaign are creative, innovative and diverse in race, age, and occupation. Each are members of our local community helping make a difference socially, culturally, artistically and economically. For each suit sold from the collection, a portion of the proceeds will go towards that person's designated charity.
Explore our collection to learn more about them and how they are shaping the future of San Antonio.

This season, we were inspired by the beauty and culture of Marfa and the West Texas High Desert. The colors of our fabric selection represent the desert sand and sky, while the window prints tie in the work of Donald Judd and the city. The collection is named after the mysterious lights that appear in the desert off Highway 90/67.
The gentlemen featured in our campaign are people doing something for our community, whether it’s creating, helping our city and youth, or shaping what the future of San Antonio will look like. For each suit sold from the collection, a portion of the proceeds will go towards that person’s designated charity.
I hope this collection inspires you to step outside of your style ‘safety zone’ and explore what you truly like rather than what the trends dictate. Define your personal style and remain authentic. We believe the men in our campaign are authentic to themselves and we hope to bring that feeling to every client.
A few years ago, I made my first trip to Big Bend and Marfa. I had been hearing a lot about the area and how it was unlike any other in Texas, As someone who has done more than her fair share of traveling around Texas, I wondered how different Marfa could be from all the other towns I had visited.
When I arrived, I was immediately hooked. Driving down the main street revealed old bars, houses and gem stores (I love rocks) next to newer homes, contemporary hotels and modern stores. Even though the two worlds of old and new were different, they seemed to meld together to create something that is uniquely Marfa.
I was introduced to the work of Donald Judd, an artist who would be responsible for helping define American minimalism (though he hated the term). Donald Judd moved from New York to Marfa in the 70s and shaped his vision of bringing together art, architecture and nature.
