All Change at Ambiguous
Ambiguous founder Frank Delgadillo starts new streetwear brand Comune.
Frank Delgadillo has left Ambiguous and is launching a new brand, Comune. Frank had previously worked on Comune as a creative side project where he did a limited run of denim and T-shirts. Most of the product was sold in Japan. Frank describes the next iteration of Comune as a little darker than Ambiguous. Comune is to launch in fall 2009 with a full collection of denim, T-shirts, knits, wovens, sweaters and jackets.
Most of the Ambiguous team with Comune, including team riders, design staff, marketing staff and most of the sales group including Jacob McCabe, Mike Quinones, Howie Marchbanks, Chris Thomas, Corey Smith, and Jack Mahaffa.
Frank, 36, founded Ambiguous in his dorm room at Chapman University when he was 20. “I’m excited,” Frank said. “I feel like a kid again, like I did when I started Ambiguous, but with more knowledge and capital.”
Meanwhile over at Ambiguous David Patri, formerly of Split takes helm, David founded Split Clothing in 1988.
Patri said the Ambiguous team has built a tremendous legacy of creativity in the market. The focus on street culture and art will continue to be an important component of the line. "We want to continue this legacy and create a line that is unique and forward as well as offer solid, consistent sellers," Patri said in the release. "Collaborating with photographers and artists is key to keeping it fresh and on point. I am committed to throwing off the limitations that have been put on the brand in the past."
For Sping 09 Ambiguous are offering a special high-end T-shirt line that features artists and photographers from around the world called. We will have some basic tees as well along with some carryover cut and sew pieces. We are hoping we can supply our loyal retailers with enough product to maintain Ambiguous.
Patri added “I have always admired the Ambiguous brand. I feel like the brand has always been “real” with it's approach to design and marketing. We see so much of the “smoke and mirrors” in our industry it is refreshing to see a brand that is honest about who they are and who is the target market. This appeals to me and how I approach branding and design.”
