New Guards Group is the home to 9 international luxury brands: Marcelo Burlon County of Milan, Off-White c/o Virgil Abloh, Palm Angels, Unravel Project, Heron Preston, Alanui, Kirin Peggy Gou, Opening Ceremony, and Ambush. We work with the understanding that fashion and luxury can be different: community-based, quality-driven, collaborative, truly global, and quick. Our brands and products stem from creative and managerial innovation and the philosophy of Made in Italy. We’re redefining the way luxury is conceived, communicated, and shared. Where others see limits, we see goals.
