“We plan to make a substantial investment into the development of the brand,” says Four Star Senior Vice President Arely Benavides. Designer Murphy Martines founded Copy in 2006 in Ladera Ranch. Described as directional men’s sportswear, the brand seeks to cross over the line between streetwear and menswear.
