The Story — 02
CLEVELAND MADE.
WORLDWIDE WORN.
DF Ford didn't come from fashion school — he came from the culture. Building DFC THE BRAND from Bedford, Ohio, with a single needle, a vision, and an obsession with detail that wouldn't quit.
What started as custom 1-of-1s for the block became bespoke for the stage, the screen, and the red carpet. What started as David Ford high-end luxury eyewear in 2010 became a global retailer.
