Self-promotion, autobiographical (implied by creator ID), non-notable. Searches for the subject do not bring up any reliable sources and very few actual sources beyond social media profiles and mentions, particularly a very recent appeal for male underwear models. At best, it is too soon given that this seems to be a very new brand launch. At a future date, the brand may well achieve notability, but right now, it does not seem that it comes anywhere near meeting notability. Sorry.

 * Comment - I have moved this to the end of the nomination per WP style, as User:Adonismale put it incorrectly at the top of the page. In response to this copy-and-paste infodump, simply because a brand is trademarked doesn't instantly confer notability. Mabalu (talk) 11:33, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

OBJECTION ON THE GROUNDS OF PUBLIC INTEREST I object to this deletion on the grounds of significant public interest in the gay and lesbian community in Sydney, Australia and GLBTIQ communities around the world, in the fashion designer's work. This fashion designer served a public office as a police officer in Sydney's Surry Hills Police Station, widely recognised as Sydney's main gay district catering to large LGBTIQ communities and made significant contributions to the GLBTI communities in Sydney. He was also featured in Recruits (TV Series) - a police TV series which follows day-today life of a group of police recruits at NSW Police Academy and their transition into the NSW Police Force.

 * Delete Nothing in article to show this person is notable, and no mention of him found in a quick online search. The refs for the above claim that he is featured on "Recruits" don't actually mention him. The claim that he made significant contributions to the GLBTI communities in Sydney while serving served as a police officer might be useful if there is reliable coverage of that.
