Groupe Inc

GROUPE is more than a menswear boutique located on the Bowery, featuring 3 in-house collections: Seize Sur Vingt, Troglodyte Homunculus, and United Boroughs. We are a collective of young designers who will shape the fashion dialogue. We are an incubator that supports the growth of today's most exciting talent. And we are a curator of design - offering our clients the chance to become fashion patrons and support emerging talent. GROUPE started with a question. How do we foster and support the voice and vision of emerging designers? The traditional model for the fashion industry is broken, with no real support for its emerging artists. Young talent spend their most unjaded creative years in support roles making tech packs. Imagine telling Adele that she would have to sing backup for 15 years. There simply aren’t opportunities for new designers to have a credible chance at independence unless they have both business acumen and access to significant capital. If we are going to change the narrative, we need to rethink the power structures and roadblocks that exist today in the fashion industry. That is why we created GROUPE. To change the narrative, and to flip the model on its head. We are creating the first genuine and sustainable platform that connects independent, emerging and aspiring designers to a community of early-adopters who are looking for more meaning in the things they wear. GROUPE selects emerging designers who create capsule collections or launch new brands with us. We provide the funding for samples and production, as well as the marketing and distribution. GROUPE leverages 20 years of experience and infrastructure as well as the closely-connected clientele and support network of the Seize sur Vingt luxury menswear brand. The physical space is a dynamic and engaging venue to test-market samples and new concepts—a fashion petri dish. Our In-house labels: Seize sur Vingt: Launched in 1998, SSV is a family-owned menswear label known for its bespoke services, slimming cuts, high-quality Italian fabrics (160s), and a wide palette of classics that appeal to an urban professional clientele. Troglodyte Homunculus: Funny name, serious style. Seize sur Vingt’s younger, carefree brother, “Trog” offers playful separates for the urban wanderer. United Boroughs: Rooted in urban lifestyle, UB incorporates advanced construction, and elevated aesthetics into a forward-thinking collection. Visit our website
