Speaking on the introduction of a new brand to the ICONIC portfolio, Raza Beig, CEO Splash and ICONIC said; “ICONIC stands for Fashion Different and that is what we aim to achieve when we launch a new brand.
"UCLA is one of these few brands that sync well with the ICONIC image and that ties in a trendy collection that is loved by everyone, including celebrities like Cristiano Ronaldo and many more. Going forward, we will be adding the womens wear collection to the UCLA portfolio. We are sure that UCLA will be a welcoming addition to the ICONIC family.”
The menswear collection is split into Heritage, LA and Track & Field. Heritage uses vintage themes to illustrate the University’s traditions and way of life. The LA range takes influences from California, adding bold colors to a sporting theme. Track and Field is subtle athletic branding to complement basic shapes.
