PUBLIC SCHOOL is a New York story. Designers Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne,
born and raised in New York City, represent the convergence and restless energy of the
city they live and work in. Founded in 2008, PUBLIC SCHOOL is redefining the
landscape for menʼs tailored sportswear. Chow and Osborne blend high and low
references from fashion, music and art to create a new look that is both masculine and
precisely detailed.

Chow and Osborne design and manufacture their full range of suitings, shirts, knits,
denim and outerwear entirely in New York, incorporating fabric from the best Italian,
Japanese and American mills. It is paramount to the Public School brand DNA that it
keeps its production roots in New York, supporting local tailors, pattern makers and
skilled garment workers. It is these genuine and personal experiences throughout the
development process along with their design mantra “finding perfection in
imperfection," that epitomize the brand and its commitment to produce only the finest
quality garments.

In 2010 PUBLIC SCHOOL was the sole emerging menswear brand chosen by
the Council of Fashion Designers of America to be part of the inaugural {FASHION
INCUBATOR} business development program. After focusing on moving one hundred
percent of production to New York City, Chow and Osborne affirm the brandʼs ability to
inject the attitude of their hometown into their designs.

In June 2013, PUBLIC SCHOOL was honored with the prestigious CFDA Swarovski
Award for Menswear.

In November 2013, PUBLIC SCHOOL was named the winner of the prestigious 2013
CFDA VOGUE Fashion Fund Award. PUBLIC SCHOOL was one of ten finalists
nominated for the award, it was their first nomination and win.
