Dipping his toes in Sri Lanka’s burgeoning fashion industry, Marlin Chris founder of the new menswear brand Kläder Ceylon revels in creating trendy menswear. Marlin previously worked at a beauty salon where he hobnobbed with a raft of snazzily dressed clients.
This exposure to fashion led him to start his own label which he launched earlier this year. With no bricks and mortar store yet, Marlin has harnessed the power of social media for the marketing and promotion of his new collections. He also trades online through Facebook and Instagram and has some of his designs on sale at FROK a popular e-commerce fashion store.
