Sydney Mamane, Designer and owner of KIN started out as a stylist, and within a couple of years moved into the film industry working in the wardrobe department where he taught himself elementary skills in sewing, cutting, draping, and pattern drafting.

After 6 solid years in film he took a position apprenticing with an experienced tailor, which solidified his expertise in tailoring, cutting, and draping. Upon leaving his apprenticeship he started a custom bespoke denim and suiting business run out of a small Toronto based studio.

In 2005 Sydney opened a retail store on Toronto’s Queen Street West.  He spent the last 4 years meticulously perfecting and developing his own label and is now set to launch Kin in Autumn 2010 with a complete menswear collection.
