ABOUT PLACES+FACES

THE ORIGIN

PLACES+FACES BEGAN IN 2013 WHEN CIESAY SPENT HIS SUMMER IN NEW YORK CITY — TALKING HIS WAY INTO HIP HOP SHOWS AND PHOTOGRAPHING ARTISTS IN THEIR PRIME ELEMENT. WHILST CIESAY WAS BUSY IN NEW YORK, SOULZ WAS BACK IN LONDON TAKING PHOTOS OF THE CULTURE, CONCERTS, AND MUSIC ARTISTS OVER THERE. WHAT STARTED AS TWO FRIENDS DOCUMENTING THE WORLD AROUND THEM BECAME SOMETHING MUCH BIGGER.

P+F BEGAN AS A WAY FOR CIESAY AND SOULZ TO DOCUMENT THE CULTURE THEY'RE A PART OF — TO TRAVEL, WORK, AND HAVE FUN WHILST DOING SO. THUS, PLACES+FACES — THE UK'S LIFESTYLE, MUSIC AND PHOTOGRAPHY BRAND — WAS BORN.

THE BRAND

FROM THOSE EARLY DAYS SHOOTING IN NEW YORK BASEMENTS AND LONDON BACK STREETS, PLACES+FACES HAS GROWN INTO ONE OF THE UK'S MOST RESPECTED STREETWEAR AND CREATIVE BRANDS. ROOTED IN AUTHENTICITY, THE BRAND HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT MORE THAN CLOTHING — IT'S ABOUT CAPTURING MOMENTS, TELLING STORIES, AND REPRESENTING A GENERATION THAT LIVES AT THE INTERSECTION OF MUSIC, ART, AND CULTURE.

COLLABORATIONS

PLACES+FACES HAS BUILT A REPUTATION FOR MEANINGFUL PARTNERSHIPS WITH SOME OF THE WORLD'S MOST ICONIC BRANDS AND CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS. EACH COLLABORATION IS ROOTED IN SHARED VALUES — CREATIVITY, AUTHENTICITY, AND A DEEP RESPECT FOR CULTURE.

PAST COLLABORATORS INCLUDE: ARSENAL, GUESS, GENTLE MONSTER, XBOX, G-SHOCK, GUCCI, AIAIAI, AND KUUMBA — AMONG OTHERS. THESE AREN'T JUST BRAND DEALS. THEY'RE CREATIVE CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF CULTURE.

PHOTOGRAPHY & FILM

AT ITS CORE, PLACES+FACES IS A PHOTOGRAPHY AND FILMMAKING PROJECT. THE LENS HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE BRAND'S MOST POWERFUL TOOL — USED TO DOCUMENT ARTISTS, MOVEMENTS, AND MOMENTS THAT MATTER. FROM EDITORIAL SHOOTS TO SHORT FILMS, THE CREATIVE OUTPUT OF P+F CONTINUES TO PUSH BOUNDARIES AND INSPIRE A GLOBAL COMMUNITY.

THE MISSION

PLACES+FACES EXISTS TO DOCUMENT, CELEBRATE, AND ELEVATE CULTURE. WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF COMMUNITY, THE IMPORTANCE OF STAYING TRUE TO YOUR ROOTS, AND THE MAGIC THAT HAPPENS WHEN CREATIVE PEOPLE COME TOGETHER. WHETHER IT'S THROUGH A PHOTOGRAPH, A FILM, A GARMENT, OR A COLLABORATION — EVERYTHING WE DO IS IN SERVICE OF THE CULTURE THAT MADE US.

THIS IS PLACES+FACES. THIS IS WHERE WE COME FROM. THIS IS WHAT WE STAND FOR.
