Story Of Represent
In 2011, brothers Mike and George Heaton established the high-end British label Represent. Craftsmanship is an integral part of each collection, reflecting the brand’s dedication to careful design and production. George Heaton first had the idea to start selling t-shirts bearing his artwork as a college assignment. At a 2012 event, George displayed his apparel at a booth he had built up for the initial product launch. As the company’s internet and business-to-business sales took off, George was free to try out new designs and production methods.
Ghost, the debut campaign, featured lengthy, flowing pieces modelled after Rolls Royce automobiles. Another 2015 release from the label was the Storm collection, which featured Iceland as a filming location. With the help of a Manchester exchange with Justin Bieber, Represent gained exposure in 2016 and staged its debut runway show in Paris. Dusk boots, Alpha V2, and HEATON sunglasses by LURA were also creations of the label.
New York Fashion Week 2017 was a banner year for Represent, as the brand debuted its FW17 and SS18 collections, The New Breed and Wide Awake, respectively. Along with their extended trip (50 flights and more than six months overseas), the company also set up a pop-up shop in Los Angeles. With a new vision for its supply chain in 2018, Represent relocated its jersey and manufacturing operations to Portugal. Notable launches such as the 247 pant and the Reptor shoe came after the firm pivoted from wholesale to online sales and weekly shipments.
By updating its website and adding more styles to its 247 trousers line, the company aimed to appeal to a wider spectrum of customers. The brand flourished in 2022, when it put its emphasis on building a physical presence and expanding internationally. The business grew via in-store promotions, temporary shops, and global events; the latter garnered nearly 2,000 people at the pop-up in Manchester. The company’s involvement in the community expanded greatly, with the number of staff members increasing from 30 to 60 and a Community Day being held in Manchester. There will be no break in the mission until at least 2023.
