The 2010s: Denim Defined

African-American denim designer and brands owner Maurice Malone is the owner of Williamsburg Garment Company and the Maurice Malone brands. Williamsburg Garment Company is an American-made jeans maker, and the Maurice Malone streetwear brand.

The decade of the 2010s was the decade when Maurice Malone asked himself, "Why make things difficult? Why don't I just do what I'm known for?

Through his new one-man brand, Williamsburg Garment Company (WGC), he carved up a new fan base away from streetwear, and denim lovers around the world have come to regard Malone as one of the top minds in denim. Most Williamsburg brand followers are unaware of his previous streetwear work, and his streetwear admirers are also unaware of his new brand, WGC.
