THE FOUNDER

Clint Ogbenna is a British-Nigerian designer and entrepreneur who has established himself as a prominent figure in the streetwear scene. kKnown as Clint 419 (his social media handle) or simply Clint – he has given fashion retail a masterclass in marketing since establishing his brand in his west London bedroom in 2017. It has since rocketed to international fame through collaborations with global names such as Nike. Ogbenna has leveraged exclusivity, word-of-mouth buzz and social media to create community and hype around his products – ranging from hoodies and T-shirts to cargo trousers and puffer jackets. He understands the allure of exclusivity, setting the brand’s Instagram profile to private and keeping its aesthetically low-fi website accessible only with a password – creating the idea of Corteiz being a members-only community and an exclusive subculture.
