These uniforms were designed by Telfar Clemens to commemorate White Castle’s 100th anniversary. They consist of a series of mix-and-match pieces designed to suit the wearer’s preference. In 2016, after hosting a fashion week afterparty at a White Castle in Times Square, America's oldest fast food chain invited Clemens to design a co-branded uniform for its restaurants throughout the US. “The idea was to make people aspire to wear what someone working at White Castle is wearing and break down that barrier,” Clemens said.
