Heralding a new wave in men’s fashion, Maxwell Osborne, one of the influential minds behind Public School, has unveiled anOnlyChild’s latest creation—a denim capsule collection. Harnessing Osborne’s distinct design language, this collection is a fusion of classic Americana with his unique aesthetics, compelling us to redefine how we perceive denim.

The heart of this collection lies in its concept—an intimate tribute to Americana, underscored by a profound emphasis on denim. Reminiscences of the bygone eras mingle seamlessly with Osborne’s vision, propelling the timeless material into the modern context.

Harnessing the essence of the 90s, photographer Max Papendieck captures models Finn Farrell and Nile Winchester with styling by Marion B. Kelly amid a backdrop that harks back to a vintage living room. This nostalgic scenery imparts a sense of home, thus unifying the collection’s thematic narrative.

Exploring the garments themselves, the collection weaves a story through its pieces, each unique in its detailing and treatment. Signature silhouettes, including double-pleated pants and wide-legged trousers, find a new identity in denim, underscoring the versatility of this fabric.

Each style is the result of local hand-washing and dying procedures in Brooklyn. Sustainability is a crucial element in Osborne’s design philosophy, made evident by his exclusive use of deadstock denim from the US.

The grand reveal of this collection took place at anOnlyChild’s Summer Studio Session, a celebration of New York City’s diverse and vibrant culture. Not merely a presentation, the event evolved into an experiential journey with a live photoshoot at Neighbors BK, allowing attendees to witness the creative process firsthand.

Further enriching the ambiance was a cookout, pop-up shops, domino tournaments, DJ sets, and a cigar and tattoo parlor, culminating in a marching band performance.
