As male beauty and fashion vloggers continue to gain substantial traction on YouTube, one of the community’s most promising stars, 18-year-old Luca Fersko, is poised to launch his first designer clothing collaboration.
Fersko, who began making videos just two years ago and today counts roughly 300,000 subscribers between his two channels, will partner with New York-based apparel brand Nephews to launch a capsule collection. Rather than separates, the collection aims to help consumers compose entire outfits, the company said. Ranging in price from $30 to $98, Luca Fersko x Nephews, as the collection has been named, will feature five items: a drop shoulder mock neck shirt, a boxy short sleeve T-shirt, a long sleeve T-shirt with unfinished hems, cropped pants, and a recycled cotton tote bag.
The limited edition collection goes on sale Monday exclusively at Nephews.co.

“Everything needed to be clean and symmetrical,” Ferkso said in a statement. “I think Japanese clothing and culture had a big role in it — the three-quarter sleeves are something you would see in the traditional kimono. I often buy a lot of statement pieces that I can only wear so many times before feeling like I’ve worn it too much. With this collection, that won’t happen.”
“We’ve created pieces that embody Luca and the honest-priced quality that Nephews prides itself on,” added founder Caleb Lewis, who established the brand in 2015. “We’ve worked together over the past few months perfecting each piece, down to the smallest detail.”
Ferkso, an Italian native and model who is repped by Scale Management, rose to fame for his hair tutorials (see below), and has also collaborated with big-name brands like Coach and Calvin Klein.
