Born in San Francisco and raised in a family anchored in fashion, Jude grew up surrounded by design, production, and the energy of building clothing brands from the ground up. With parents who’ve founded multiple successful companies, fashion has always been second nature—and something he’s gravitated towards his entire life. Working shoulder to shoulder with Parker, his sharp eye for detail and design plays a key role in shaping the look and feel of Sommet. Drawn to the far edges of the map, his curiosity has carried him to places few can name—from living among scarcely contacted tribes near Borneo to riding alongside eagle hunters in the Tian Shan of Kyrgyzstan. At the same time, he has immersed himself in the world’s fashion capitals—including Paris, London, and New York—absorbing the culture and craft of global style. Together, these experiences have helped shape the perspective he brings to Sommet.
