ABOUT DYLAN GEORGE and ABBOT + MAIN

Dylan George was founded by denim aficionado Danny Guez in 2008 and is named after his son. Offering premium denim for men and women, Dylan George was developed to capitalize on the relationship between high fashion and the luxurious, celebrity driven landscape of Los Angeles culture. Since its launch the brand has become an established destination for high-end denim with unique silhouettes, cutting-edge fabrication and covetable detailing. The acclaimed denim has become a favorite for the stylish celebrities who heavily influenced the conceptualization of the brand, including Anne Hathaway, Cameron Diaz, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Alba, Nicole Richie, and Lady Gaga, among many others. Furthering the ideals of Dylan George, founder Danny Guez partnered with Kellan Lutz in early 2011 to design a ready-to-wear menswear line, Abbot + Main; a Venice Beach-inspired collection of t-shirts and knitwear. Following the success of Lutz's initial collection, Abbot + Main has expanded to include a collection of women's tees, silk tops, dresses and loungewear for Fall 2012. Abbot + Main separates are designed to be the perfect complement to the men's and women's Dylan George offerings. Dylan George and Abbot + Main are available at fine department stores nationwide including Bloomindale's and Nordstrom.
