PROJECT 001 / MUSIC × DESIGN / CARIBBEAN COLLABORATION
BRAWLING
BEYOND
THE MUSIC.
MRCH × Father Philis. A music-inspired pair of dolphin shorts from a collaboration connecting Barbados and Trinidad & Tobago.
01 / THE IDEA
FROM RECORD
TO REAL LIFE.
The energy of Brawling was never confined to a recording. It became a reference point for a creative collaboration with MRCH, the Trinidad & Tobago-based merchandise and design studio behind thoughtfully produced products and brand experiences.
Through MRCH × Father Philis, the creative world around the record found a wearable expression: Brawling dolphin shorts in vivid red and blue colorways. The project connects music, island identity and a fashion piece built to be seen beyond the stage.
The original product campaign is no longer active. This archive preserves the two-colorway collaboration as part of the wider Father Philis creative story.
02 / THE PIECES
TWO COLORWAYS.
ONE IDEA.
03 / THE PARTNER
MEET
MRCH.
Founded by Trinidadian designer Nicolette Leacock, MRCH by Nico specializes in concept-to-production merchandise and creative activations. Its portfolio includes custom apparel, accessories and event merchandise.
Our Brawling collaboration is one example of what can happen when Caribbean artists and designers build beyond their own disciplines—bringing a piece of music into a tangible cultural object.
