Garçon Model is a Canadian underwear[1] brand for men, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[2] Launched in 2012, the brand is known for producing underwear for men with an emphasis on vibrant colour combinations[1] and using microfiber,[3] which is a fabric that wicks moisture and sweat away from the body.
The company raised money for street kids in Recife,[4][5] the host city of the 2014 World Cup, with Brazilian NGO Ruas e Praças. Garçon Model's underwear has been featured in GQ,[6] Esquire,[7] Men's Health,[8][9] Details,[10] Men's Fitness, Harper's Bazaar.
History
Garçon Model launched their first collection in 2012 with boxer briefs, trunks, and briefs.[2] Their second collection entitled Miami Collection was the result of a Kickstarter campaign,[11] with the brand raising over $26,000 CAD.[3]
Collaborations
Garçon Model has collaborated with both well-known and up-and-coming photographers and models in photo-shoots and campaigns for their products. Photographer Daniel Jaems did the campaign for the brand's Miami Collection with model Tyler Kenyon.[12][13] They have also worked with Marco Ovando,[14] and America's Next Top Model's Mike Ruiz.[15] Most recently, Garçon Model teamed up with Montreal photographer Monsiieur and Vin Los [16] for featuring Vin in boxers from the Miami Collection.
