Ev Bravado
SpeakerIn six notable years, contemporary creator Everard Best, more commonly known by the moniker Ev Bravado, has designed and consulted for several esteemed brands including Off-White™, New Balance, Neiman Marcus, Alice + Olivia, Levi’s, and Mr. Porter. After launching his clothing brand Ev Bravado in 2015, Bravado used this exposure and enormous social media presence to transition this platform over to his newly renamed brand, Who Decides War. This rapidly expanding brand hones in on carefully crafted pieces, expert garment distressing, multi-phase hand-dyeing, and meticulous attention to detail. These key factors set Ev’s creative team apart in a saturated menswear market. As Who Decides War continues to grow exponentially, its in-house team retains the same grounded outlook and mission statement of instilling faith, culture, and a handmade touch into each garment created. This past season, Ev Bravado embarked on a new venture, debuting the first full-scale collection under the brand’s new name, Who Decides War, which was superbly received.
