Role

Creative Director Menswear · Munich, Germany · 2023 – 2027

Scope

Focused on building commercially successful collections while strengthening a clear and contemporary brand identity.

Denim Reimagined — Honouring Heritage, Shaping the Future

As Europe’s first denim brand, Mustang has built its reputation on authenticity, craftsmanship and an uncompromising passion for denim. This collection explores the strategic evolution of the brand—repositioning its identity for a contemporary audience while staying true to the values that have defined Mustang since 1932.

Rooted in the brand’s heritage yet designed for today’s modern man, the collection combines authentic denim craftsmanship with a more refined and elevated design language. Classic workwear references are reinterpreted through modern tailoring, cleaner silhouettes and thoughtful detailing, creating a wardrobe that feels both timeless and progressive.

Rather than reinventing Mustang, the ambition was to sharpen its identity—strengthening the brand’s DNA while expanding its relevance for a new generation. A creative direction that respects the past, responds to the present and confidently shapes the future.

Urban Western — Heritage Reframed

This collection explores a contemporary interpretation of Mustang’s heritage, translating the brand’s authentic Western roots into a modern, urban wardrobe. Rather than following seasonal trends, the objective was to refine the brand’s visual identity while preserving the unmistakable character of Mustang.

Classic denim craftsmanship, sun-faded washes and workwear influences are balanced with cleaner silhouettes, lightweight fabrics and subtle preppy references. The result is a collection that feels confident, contemporary and effortlessly wearable—modernising the brand without compromising its DNA.
