The creators of AMBUSH®, YOON and VERBAL are fans of capital letters and the registered trademark symbol ®. The pair first came to fame with a jewellery range, POW®, worn by Kanye West, which earned the brand a reputation at the end of the noughties. A few years later, YOON and VERBAL expanded their production to ready-to-wear.
With a strong network in the hip-hop and pop scene (including Pharrell Williams and designer Kim Jones), the brand designs unisex streetwear and collaborates with various international luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Cartier, and Shu Uemura.
More information on AMBUSH® can be found on the brand’s website.
