Dedicated to Love, Teamwork, and Craftsmanship
Mitchell & Ness is proud to announce the launch of an exclusive collaboration with the late, great fashion designer Waraire Boswell and his eponymous brand, WARAIRE.
The Waraire x Mitchell & Ness collection pays homage to Boswell’s legacy with a curated lineup of garments that embody the impeccable craftsmanship and visionary design for which he was celebrated.
The collection includes a shooting shirt, puffer jacket, keyhole scarf, mock neck long sleeve tee, and pin tucked, relaxed pants-all designed to capture the essence of Waraire Boswell’s approach to fashion. With over 20 years of expertise in custom suiting and tailoring, Boswell refined not only the quality of formal wear but also essential garments for daily life. This collaboration continues his mission of making individuals feel their best through perfectly crafted clothing.
Waraire Boswell was a designer who believed that looking your best starts from within. He championed the idea that spiritual, mental, and emotional well-being were the foundations upon which personal style and confidence could be built. These principles are woven into the fabric of each piece in the collection, reflecting the three major values that inspired his work: Craftsmanship, Teamwork, and Love-values he first learned in sports as a youth and carried throughout his career.
While Waraire’s work attracted world-renowned celebrities across sports, entertainment, and business-including a notable collaboration with McDonald’s to redesign uniforms for over 860,000 employees across the United States-he never lost sight of his ultimate purpose: making each individual look and feel their best. This collaboration with Mitchell & Ness serves as a testament to his enduring commitment to these ideals.
“We are honored to bring Waraire Boswell’s vision to life through this collection,” said Eli Kumekpor, CEO at Mitchell & Ness. “His attention to detail, innovative approach to design, and dedication to creating wearable art that resonate on a personal level are qualities that we deeply admire. This collection is more than just clothing; it’s a tribute to Waraire’s legacy and the values that guided him in both his professional and personal life.”
This is a story.
This is a story of Craftsmanship.
This is a story of Teamwork.
This…is a story of Love.
We find lessons throughout the chapters of our stories, and we are crafted into greatness by our persistence.
We find our team. We nurture that team. And we execute in Love.
Love ignites the collective passion. Therefore, love is the goal.
And Love will be the legacy.
The Waraire Boswell x Mitchell & Ness collection is not only a celebration of high-quality fashion but also a celebration of family cohesion. The most important team he was ever a part of was the Boswell Family, and the most cherished love he was committed to was his family legacy. These sentiments are reflected in every piece of this collection. To honor this legacy, Mitchell & Ness will be donating a percentage of all sales from the collection to Waraire Boswell’s children’s trust fund, continuing his dedication to family and ensuring his legacy lives on through his loved ones.
The collection is available online and in select stores.
