Small Talk Studio

Small Talk Studio is a New York clothing label run by Nick Williams and Phil Ayers. It was founded in 2018 and became known for elaborate custom hand-drawn and embroidered garments, along with limited-run screen printed tees. Today the studio, based in the Garment District, splits its time between made-to-order custom pieces, seasonal collections and special projects.

The clothes are playful but made for everyday wear. Fabrics are a mix of domestic and Japanese deadstock, plus custom milled and printed cloth, and most of the making happens in New York.

Collaborators include Carhartt WIP, Gitman Vintage, Kartik Research, Fullcount & Co. and Nike Running. Its t-shirts are stocked at Dover Street Market London.
