Marc Buchanan
About
the designers
From the early age of two, it was apparent that Marc Buchanan had a desire to be involved in design and the fine arts. Painting, sculpting and ceramics were among his favorite past times and something he would develop in later years. But it was ultimately design that made his name known.
By the time Buchanan reached his teen years, he demonstrated the makings of a true designer. He first learned his craft by picking up books and reading about design, pattern making and fabrics. That was not something uncommon for Buchanan who by the time he reached high school had already been designing clothes for himself.
The Look
The global brand is recognized for its fashion-forward products, state-of-the-art graphics and high-end collectible jackets, and is a wardrobe favorite among major musicians and stars. The company was recently honored by some of hip-hop’s founders, when it was asked to design a studded leather jacket for Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. The group wore the jacket during their induction into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. Pelle Pelle will also be featured in the 2009 major motion picture, “Notorious,” chronicling the life of rap artist Biggie Smalls.
