Brand Development & Select Distribution

Everton Campbell

A renowned pioneer in modern menswear, Everton opened the doors of his first retailer Hip in 1987. As the first Black-owned select store of it’s kind, Hip merged Japanese and American heritage fashion with contemporary sport and street style mixing music, subculture and style to create one of the most iconic retailers of its time.

Since 2020, Everton’s focus shifted to advising brands, bringing his wealth of experience, knowledge and contacts into their arsenal as a true partner for growth.
