When Ron Dorff debuted in 2011 from a modest Marais boutique, it addressed the conspicuous absence of refined athleticwear in the luxury market. At a time when logomania dominated sportswear, the brand launched with meticulously crafted essentials that prioritized quality materials and precise cuts over ostentatious branding (revolutionary!). Now, with an expanding presence in over 120 countries and flagships dotting the global fashion landscape from SoHo to Saint-Germaindes-Prés, Ron Dorff has established itself as the go-to purveyor for discerning shoppers who demand their athleticwear perform double duty.
