Stylish clothing and political statements – that’s what the Esprit brand stands for. It stands up for important social and political issues like no other brand and, like the fashion brands H&M, GAP and United Colors of Benetton, stands for everyday fashion that always makes you look stylish. Want to know more about the brand, its history, fashion and philosophy? In this article you will learn everything you need to know about the brand and its fashion.

History and foundation of the brand Esprit

The couple Susie Russell and Doug Tompkins founded the fashion brand Esprit in 1968, five years after their wedding. The brand was intended to be an authentic, approachable brand, producing wearable clothing for all people, regardless of their background. Through its campaigns featuring real-life people and Esprit salespeople, the brand solidified its image as an approachable, fun-loving brand that sells clothes for people who are in the middle of life.

A brand takes action: Sustainability, LQBTQ & International Women’s Day

As a brand, Esprit has been committed to important causes since its inception. Through advertising campaigns in which Esprit draws attention to social problems and donations to charitable causes, the brand has shown its commitment to important issues for years. Especially in the area of sustainability, however, the brand goes a step further and relies on Concious Fashion, which means for Esprit pays attention to social and ecological aspects in the production of their clothes. But also through limited actions, such as the collection with the designers Craig and Karl, to stand up for the rights of the LGBTQ community, the brand manages to make political statements. In doing so, Esprit focused on the message of love and equality. For International Women’s Day, Esprit is also campaigning for the rights and equality of women worldwide with T-shirts.

Esprit logo: colorful and unique like the brand

Esprit’s logo was designed by John Casado, who is considered one of the most talented art directors of his time. He decided to create a colorful eye-catching logo for the brand and at first he couldn’t convince the boss of Esprit with his design. But when Doug Tompkins asked him to suggest other designs and he still stuck to his first attempt, he finally convinced Doug with his persistence. So that’s how the logo was born, which is now known to the whole world and which, with its colorful bright letters, perfectly fits the Esprit brand.
