3x1

In 2011 denim designer / entrepreneur, Scott Morrison, launched his third denim line, 3x1. The name is derived from denim’s standard weaving construction, the 3x1 (Right Hand Twill). The term ‘three by one’ also alludes to Morrison’s third jean concept (having launched Paper Denim & Cloth in 1999, and Earnest Sewn in 2004).

Introduced as a retail concept and focused initially on making limited-edition jeans, custom made and bespoke jeans to be sold in the 3x1 atelier, the opportunity quickly arose to develop a small wholesale range for a few of the world’s finest retailers including: Barney’s New York, Ron Herman, Bergdorf Goodman, Estination, Lane Crawford, Intermix, etc. Four seasons later, 3x1’s whole sale business has reached more than 200 accounts worldwide and has expanded to include both men’s and women’s Ready-To-Wear collection.

They create premium activewear that is driven by fashion, engineered with luxurious fabrics from around the world, and designed to push and empower active individuals to live, look, and feel their best.

When Brazilian designer Ilana Kugel was inspired to infuse her native roots into activewear, she quickly looked to partner up with industry expert Peter Koral to launch her collection to the world. With Koral’s sharp intuition, he knew Kugel’s sophisticated edge combined with her understanding of function, fabrics, and form would elevate workout clothes as we know it and propel activewear into the spotlight of fashion.
