AZU BRAND

GLAM DAMN IT
The Evolution of AZU

Bringing new meaning to the term "monkey business," AZU Brand has arrived on the scene to give fashion a new face - that of a cartoon monkey. Launched less than a year ago by three friends who detected a bit irony in their corporate desk jobs, the AZU team decided to explore some of the ways that monkeys can resemble human beings. By illustrating some of these concepts onto t-shirts, AZU is gaining speed as a fun and accessible t-shirt brand for consumers of all ages. On March 25th, you can catch their designs at the I Want Now fashion show event at Tenjune alongside some of the fashion industry's most promising new talents. I spoke with Cara Hall, one of the founding members of AZU, about the brand and why they decided to ditch their desk jobs and start monkeying around.
