DAMECORE is a women’s basketball lifestyle brand building an entire universe around the game. We’re tastemakers at the intersection of women’s basketball, fashion, and culture, covering the sport through a fashion-forward lens with a voice that lives inside the culture rather than commentating from the sidelines.

I started DAMECORE because women’s basketball has outgrown the way it’s been represented. For years the game was treated as a side note. Now it’s driving culture, influencing style, and generating real money. It isn’t just games anymore, it’s a whole business ecosystem, and I wanted to build a world that reflects that.

The angle comes from having lived in both rooms. Years of competitive basketball, then a career in luxury at Dior in Paris and New York. DAMECORE was born at the intersection of two worlds that look separate and aren’t: elite women’s basketball and high fashion.

Our mission is to reshape how the sport and its players are seen and valued. Our vision is to be top of mind for all things women’s basketball.
