LMG Introduce YALE x PEACEBIRD MEN Collaboration

SHANGHAI - EntSun -- Following a successful collaboration between Yale and ANTA Sports, Licensing Matters Global (LMG) has secured a new partnership for its client Yale, with renowned fashion brand & retailer in China PEACEBIRD MEN. The collection, which includes hooded jackets, sweatshirts, and dress shirts, is inspired by Yale University's ionic illustrations and PEACEBIRD modern styles. YALE X PEACEBIRD MEN launches this September in PEACEBIRD stores.

Yale resourced LMG in a multi-year project to raise the university's profile and introduce the collegiate culture with youth across Greater China, Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. PEACEBIRD MEN has more than 1500 stores in China, targeting urban fashion males aged 23- 28. PEACEBIRD and Yale together aim to engage the Gen-Z and millennial demographic with Yale's iconic history and tradition. The collection's collegiate style fused with casual elements lends perfectly to the athleisure trend, which is all about balancing comfort and style, catering to the busy lifestyles of young people.

Athleisure, a fusion of the words "athletic" and "leisure", is an aspirational lifestyle and a global phenomenon. The future of athleisure in China looks promising too; China is estimated to become the largest athleisure consumer market by the end of 2020, thanks to double-digit growth¹.

"At LMG, we're thrilled to have the opportunity to take Yale's indisputably iconic heritage into licensing collaborations that help to raise the university's profile with young people across APAC. PEACEBIRD is a perfect partner for Yale in China, as a leading fashion brand of Chinese contemporary youth culture, at the forefront of local fashion". Andrew Kwan, EVP Licensing Matters Global (a Maxx Group Company)

For Yale and PEACEBIRD MEN, the athleisure fashion trend is redefined by combining Chinese and Western cultures in this new collaboration. The brands hope to benefit from Gen- Z's propensity towards locally relevant brands and style^2.
