Since 2017 Norwood Chapters has been on a rise from obscure concept in the mind of designer/founder Ali Saint Q, to a fully fleshed out sartorial narrative that has garnered a cult following of celebrities.

In just a few short years Norwood has achieved what most brands pray for in a ten year plan. Saint Q has managed to get its product on Kanye West, J Balvin and Migos, is distributed in retailers such as American Rag, Mortar Tokyo and Fred Segal Japan. It picked up accounts with luxury mainstays such as LuisaViaRoma in Italy and American Rag Dubai following Paris Fashion Week in 2019.

At the brand's core is Saint Q's worldview and influences, using luxury fabrics as a canvas to tell his story, as well as the story of those people, places and things who have influenced his vision and path.

Norwood Street in LA, where Saint Q grew up upon moving to America, is a far cry from the romantically opulent Parisian energy that validated the line's place in high street culture. Each collection from Norwood is another "Chapter" of his life and times. Rooted equally in punk rock, ska, metal, skate, basketball, & hiphop - it's executed on a level equivalent to the luxury houses in Paris. The entire aesthetic is peak intelligent juxtaposition. 

Travis Scott & Kanye were both early adopters of Saint Q's line, seen here wearing one of Norwood Chapter 1's staple pieces, the signature box T-shirt from 2018.

Here are the 7 Norwood Chapters pieces proudly rocked by the line's famous friends and homies in high places. Shop NORWOOD ESSENTIALS now on SOULER.
