Sons of Christiania (SOC) is a hundred years story about an ordinary still endlessly talented immigrant family from Norway which made that very American dream come true. Having inherited from his great grandmother Elna Heffermehl the unique gene of inborn clothes designer SOC founder Jens Ingebretsen became the prominent example of a self-made person of the present.

Being among first immigrants during the Great Depression times Elna left cold Scandinavia for the USA seeking for a better life. She earned her living by selling handcrafted hats in Brookline. The capital of Norway Oslo used to be called Christiania. SOC today is not just a fashionable menswear brand of brutal style but a powerful self-identification philosophy in the means of a freedom-loving personality of new generation.

Natural brown, grey and red shades, rough surfaces, authentic old-fashioned fonts, abrasions and stamps, these concepts of brand identity are definitely full of history. The labels would happen amongst the industrial class old photos, and nowadays through the prism of contemporary graphic design they are especially relevant. The immigrant logo is a generalized character, personification of the hopes of millions facing the obscurity.
