For Myles Price, minimalism is anything but simple. Each meticulously crafted piece—born from premium fabrics and a reverence for restraint—speaks to a quiet confidence, where bold modernity meets timeless sophistication. In this exclusive interview, we explore the creative influences, intuitive process, and evolving philosophy behind the label.
Pursuitist: You create minimal pieces from premium fabrics and your work blends bold modernity with timeless sophistication. Who or what are your biggest creative influences?
I tend to be most inspired by work that feels deceptively simple. I’m drawn to pieces where restraint is the point, but there is a soul underneath. John Pawson’s architecture comes to mind. His ability to strip something back without losing any depth is something I really connect with. I also find inspiration in the quiet rigor of Japanese and Scandinavian design. These forms are not loud, but every detail matters. In fashion, I look to designers who understand silhouette and fabric at that level, where the goal is not to overwhelm but to support the person wearing it. To me, the most beautiful design seamlessly becomes part of the life of the individual.
Myles Price: Walk us through your creative journey—from initial concept to final execution. How do you balance client expectations with your own artistic vision?
When the process begins, everyone’s expectations are in my head, including my own. Clients, colleagues, production partners, family. It gets crowded. I carry all of it with me as I begin, that desire to achieve something that will satisfy everyone.
Everything starts with fabric, working with local mills who custom knit for us. Our development process involves considering every detail, from the fibers in the yarn to the tension of the machines to how the fabric reacts when washed and dyed. I usually begin with an idea of what the fabric can be based on the hand feel of the first knit down sample. But the moment you see it in a garment on a fit model, you have to let go of all the expectations you carried into the room. You have to let the fabric show you where it wants to go.
From there, it becomes a conversation between material and form. I am in the room, but I am listening. I try to keep all those voices out of the way. You cannot force the process.
And in the end, when it comes together, everyone can feel it. The fit model, the pattern maker, the production coordinator, me. There is a shared moment of knowing you’ve arrived at the correct point. That is when all those expectations are the quietest.
How do you want people to feel when wearing your designs?
I want them to feel like themselves, but better. Not dressed up or hiding behind a label, just grounded and at ease. When something fits well and moves with you, it creates a quiet confidence. To me, this is the soul of the work.
How has your design philosophy evolved since your first collection to today?
I trust my instincts more. In the beginning, I was trying to do too much. Now I spend more time listening. I listen to the fabric, to the fit, and to what feels essential. The work has become more focused. I am not trying to impress anyone, just working to create pieces that feel considered and lasting.
What emerging technology or sustainable practice excites you most about fashion’s future?
I’m really hopeful that seaweed-based fibers can evolve into a viable alternative to synthetics like polyester. The idea of using something natural, renewable, and biodegradable from the ocean is promising. We are still in the early stages, but I think fabric innovation like this has real potential. I will never put polyester in our fabrics, so having alternatives that we can work with and develop is exciting.
