Charles LeBrun Release Short Film Featuring New Genderless Collection

Influenced by the culture around basketball, the Melbourne clothing label release a new short film and accompanying collection titled ‘Make It Real’.

Posted by

Make It Real by Charles LeBrun’s Georgia Haynes and Dayne Edward is an ode to childhood aspirations and revisiting memories. The title of the film refers to a work ethic, discipline and sentiment that is best embodied by the era of the NBA Draft Class of ‘96 – Iverson, Allen, Kobe, as well as the world around them in cultural figures such as Aaliyah and Jay-Z – where there were no fakes and no half-steps.

Absolute authenticity and commitment to craft were paramount to this era of Basketball, both on and off the court – a sentiment that extends to the label’s namesake, Haynes’ ancestor who was a French artist of whom’s work presently sits in the Louvre amongst other collections.

With a new film featuring the brand’s newest collection, scored by Nikodimos and cast with a collection of close collaborators that embody this attitude, Make It Real is a love letter to what happens in the space between intention and action, when only you can make it happen for yourself.

Inspired by a childhood spent in a regional Victorian town, The Charles LeBrun label is the product of an unwavering passion for an era of basketball that was unfolding in real-time thousands of miles away. The pieces styled in the film by DOCG are true to the intention of Charles, bridging the gap across oceans and injuries, providing a window into this distant era of basketball, whilst reimagining the traditionally masculine-centric styles in a genderless and trans-seasonal collection.
