Founded in 2018 by creative partners Everard Best (known as Ev Bravado) and Téla D'Amore, WHO DECIDES WAR emerged from New York City's Lower East Side as a transformative force in contemporary fashion. Best's background in tailoring provided the technical foundation for the brand's meticulous craftsmanship. After launching his clothing brand Ev Bravado in 2015, Best partnered with D'Amore to transition to the newly renamed WHO DECIDES WAR. The brand has since earned recognition as a CFDA Fashion Fund finalist and a LVMH Prize semifinalist, establishing itself as a defining voice in modern American fashion through a distinctly diverse lens.

WHO DECIDES WAR has become widely recognized for its denim silhouettes featuring expert garment distressing, intricate hand-dyeing techniques, and the brand's iconic incorporation of lace and tulle. The brand's aesthetic blends classic American uniforms with contemporary design, creating garments that serve as armor for self-expression. As Who Decides War continues to grow, the in-house team maintains the same grounded outlook and mission in each garment they create.
