Gavin Casalegno, widely recognized for his role as Jeremiah Fisher in The Summer I Turned Pretty, has taken on a new creative challenge with the launch of his fashion brand, Kai Lo. The actor introduced his deeply personal clothing line on April 19 at La La Land Kind Café in Los Angeles. Surrounded by sunshine, fans, and his ever-present Topo Chico, Gavin unveiled a collection that mirrors his own journey and personality, capturing both comfort and sophistication with intention.
Kai Lo isn’t just another celebrity fashion venture—it’s a deliberate blend of identity and style. Gavin shared that the line reflects various aspects of his personality, aiming to channel everything from relaxed, cozy energy to stylish, thoughtfully curated looks. He described each collection as an extension of his different sides, designed for everything from laid-back post-surf hangouts to polished, airport-ready ensembles.
The debut collection features coastal-inspired colors, versatile silhouettes, and a casual-yet-refined aesthetic. Gavin emphasized that even the smallest details, like the stars and color choices, were selected with purpose. The brand name itself carries personal significance, symbolizing a path of self-expression and growth that has defined his life offscreen.
Behind the scenes, Gavin wasn’t alone in building Kai Lo. His wife, Cheyanne King Casalegno, played an essential role in the creative process. He praised their collaborative synergy, especially when it came to finalizing fits and color palettes, calling the design process with her “fun” and creatively energizing.
Among the standout pieces is the Depth Over Surface Zip-Up Hoodie, priced at $125, which Gavin highlighted as a personal favorite. The silver-toned hoodie, he noted, pairs effortlessly with basic wardrobe staples and elevates a casual outfit with ease. When asked which Kai Lo item his character Jeremiah would choose, Gavin pointed to the NCO Tee, a cropped, trendy piece that fits the vibe of his on-screen persona.
Though fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty eagerly await Season 3, Gavin hinted at some deviations from the original storyline, teasing new surprises while expressing heartfelt gratitude for his cast and crew. He reflected on his personal growth since joining the series, noting that the transition into his mid-20s has inspired him to focus more on individual goals—Kai Lo being a major step in that direction.
Looking ahead, Gavin revealed that the brand has a lot more in store. Over the next nine weeks, Kai Lo plans to drop new collections featuring split options, hoodies, and more refined looks that aim to make an even bigger statement. The brand is set to evolve with each release, growing alongside its founder’s creative vision.
In a lighthearted moment, Cheyanne let slip a fun fact about Gavin’s beverage of choice: he’s obsessed with Topo Chico. Gavin confirmed with a laugh that he drinks “two packs a day,” making it his signature drink during the launch event. When asked what song best captures the spirit of Kai Lo, Gavin selected “Here Comes the Sun,” a fitting anthem for a brand built on optimism, intentionality, and soul.
From heartthrob to fashion founder, Gavin Casalegno’s leap into streetwear signals a new chapter. With Kai Lo, he’s not just making clothes—he’s curating a lifestyle rooted in meaning, creative freedom, and a clear sense of identity.
