Collection Name: Orator
Brand: Surfintee
Core Spirit: Turning apparel into a message of marine conservation.
The Orator collection was conceived not just to create fashion, but to give a voice to the underwater world.
The idea was sparked when founder Rasmine Clifton, late one night while browsing online, stumbled upon an archive of complex and haunting whale songs. Even filtered through her headphones, Rasmine felt the power and the isolation in those sounds—as if they were an ancient language and an urgent plea.
The inspiration for Orator came from a deep desire to turn clothing into a conduit, an ‘Orator’ for creatures that cannot speak for themselves. The vibrant, Retro/Neon-style Whale graphics symbolize the critical importance of these majestic beings and serve as a visual call to action for ocean health.
Orator blends Surfintee’s core surf style with a mission of environmental advocacy, urging people to carry the ocean’s message out of the digital space and into their daily lives.
