Founded by David Chu, Nautica was named after the latin word
Nauticus.
Originally from Taiwan, Chu went to New York to be an
architect.
He took summer drawing classes at the Fashion Institute of
Technology and that little detour changed his career path.
Instead of going into architecture, he landed in fashion.
Creating new classics in David Chu's goal. He tries to achieve
by continuously experimenting with fabric treatments and paying
attention to details on cut and embellishments, including zippers
and pockets in the garment.
