The Origins and Design Philosophy of a Fashion Brand

This week's guest is Raphael Schneider, founder of the Gentleman’s Gazette and Fort Belvedere.

The Gentleman’s Gazette is one of the most respected voices in menswear on the internet, with a YouTube channel boasting 1.6 million subscribers.

Fort Belvedere is a menswear and accessories company specializing in the finest quality wallets, ties, pocket squares, and more.

I had the pleasure of joining Raphael at his home in Minneapolis for this conversation, in which we discussed his move from Germany to the US, creating the brand identity of Fort Belvedere, and building an elegant wardrobe on a budget.
