What is Native Youth?

Native Youth is an English fashion label that started in 2012 as a menswear-only brand. In 2015 it added a womenswear line designed by Ash Kumar, which carried menswear influences into its silhouettes and fabrics.

Products and positioning

The brand presents itself as the home of considered clothing for men and women. Its collections include tees, shirts, dresses, outerwear and co-ord sets, along with a resort collection.

When the womenswear line launched, it was praised for high-quality construction at a contemporary price point, aimed at fashion-conscious women. The current offer gives prominence to lower-impact materials:

  • Lenzing Ecovero and Tencel fibres
  • Organic cotton
  • Recycled polyester
  • Linen

Distribution

Native Youth sells through its own online shop, priced in pounds sterling, which also runs an outlet section. The brand has appeared in UK fashion and music media such as Mixmag.

Why it matters

Native Youth is representative of the British contemporary labels that compete on design and material choices at accessible prices rather than on heritage or luxury positioning.
