Rag & Bone is one of a number of newer fashion labels that have attracted investment from Andrew Rosen, the founder of Theory. The partners in the company, Marcus Wainwright and David Neville, were friends at school in England and came to New York in 2001 and 2003 respectively. Neither of them had a background or any training in fashion. They started with a line of men’s jeans, produced their first men’s collection in 2004, and added a women’s collection the following year. In 2010, they were named Menswear Designers of the Year by the Council of Fashion Designers of America. ♦
