‘Still Kelly’ by Mark Kalman is the creative’s highly anticipated brand debut, but the force behind it is no stranger to the fashion and music scene. Kalman has spent years developing his vision, having collaborated with significant names, most notably setting the visual identity for Travis Scott’s album artwork, merchandise, and collaborations. His behind-the-scenes influence extends to projects with The New York Times and Made Fashion Week at Milk Studios, connecting with industry icons like the late Virgil Abloh and artist Steve Lacy.
Still Kelly is an introspective project for the private New York-based creative director. Officially launched in 2020 with a sold-out graphic hoodie, the brand is now releasing its first complete menswear collection, ‘Boyish,’ exclusively at SSENSE. This collection features thoughtfully crafted pieces, including a technical nylon jacket inspired by Liam Gallagher, elevated workwear, and signature oversized denim shorts. Still Kelly represents Kalman’s autobiographical exploration, inviting wearers to be their own muse while embodying the ethos of patience and personal growth.
