Information Ayman Karim Darbouche is a multidisciplinary designer, product developer and creative director, and founder of AYMSK, an independent menswear label established in 2023. His practice spans product development, garment construction, art direction, graphic design and visual identity, overseeing projects from initial concept through development and production to their final visual communication.

As founder and creative director of AYMSK, he oversees the complete creative output of the label, with garment construction, technical development, brand identity, campaign concepts, photography direction and digital output developed in-house. His approach considers the product and its visual communication as part of the same system, building a consistent design language across physical and digital touchpoints.

His product practice extends across jersey, cut-and-sew and outerwear, with a focus on disrupted, off-balance construction and garments built to carry visible evidence of their making. This thinking extends beyond the body into spatial and furniture design, including a hand-constructed sofa and lounge chair developed as studies of garment architecture, applying upholstery and sewing techniques to challenge the line between clothing and object.

Across art direction and image-making, he develops visual concepts from research through to execution, working across photography, styling, set direction, typography, graphic design and image selection to establish distinct visual languages across campaigns, social and digital platforms.

His wider visual practice includes work for music projects with millions of global streams, UK chart placements and coverage from GRM Daily and Complex, delivering artwork, visual identities and campaign assets for independent artists and major labels including Warner Music Group, Ultra Records and Payday Records.

He is available for creative direction, art direction, product development, design and consulting projects.

Creative and art direction for AYMSK’s digital and social output, developing a continuous visual language across product, campaign imagery, photography, graphic design and process documentation.

The content is developed organically, guided by a consistent design language and distinct point of view rather than trend-led formats. AYMSK blue functions as a recurring visual anchor, moving between garments, graphic applications, digital touchpoints and the environments in which the work is photographed.

The visual language extends into the physical production of the imagery. For the studio work, the backdrop was hand-painted in-house, creating an imperfect, textured field of blue rather than a uniform studio surface. This carries the process-led thinking behind the garments into the set design and image-making, allowing evidence of making to remain present in the final photography.

Across releases, photography, composition and graphic treatment are allowed to evolve while maintaining continuity through colour, typography, art direction and image selection. The result is a flexible visual identity with a recognisable point of view across changing products and campaigns.
