History
Founded in 2017 by designer Claire Robertson-Macleod, Tank Air emerged as a prominent figure in the direct-to-consumer fashion movement. The brand gained cultural visibility through its association with contemporary internet subcultures and high-profile public figures. It is recognized for its rejection of traditional seasonal calendars, instead focusing on permanent collections. This approach reflects a broader shift in fashion history toward sustainable, independent labels that bypass conventional retail structures to maintain creative and ethical control.
