The business
Old School Cities is Ryan’s independent apparel brand project. Its direction brings together vintage city culture and illustrated storytelling under the line “Same City. Different Era. Better Stories.”
The design
A skyline emblem anchors the identity, with cream, charcoal, and gold establishing a restrained visual palette. The presentation gives the brand a recognizable starting point for an online presence and future collections.
