История моды
David Keyte founded Universal Works in 2009 after thirty years of experience at labels including Paul Smith and Maharishi. The brand emerged during a resurgence of interest in British heritage and functional apparel. It occupies a specific niche in fashion history by bridging the gap between traditional blue-collar garments and modern street style. Its growth remains independent, focusing on collaborations and small-batch manufacturing rather than mass-market expansion.
