In 2001, a curiously exciting new label burst onto the scene, via East London, refreshingly delivered to the fashion world by Business Associate Paul (owner of Vietnam's MA Manufacturing Facility), which was then deeply furthered by Creative Director and Brand Partner, Neil Maloney, circa 2009.
Having been mutually inspired by 1982's Stone Island (R.I.P. Massimo Osti) and 1994's Maharishi (founded by Hardy Blechman, who Paul once worked for - meaning "Great Vision"), their dual combination has masterfully garnered world-wide acclaim, as a fully fledged cult-classic brand, that has now found its home in the beating heart of Manchester.
Neil had previously worked for the extensive ilk of MTV, Harrods, Ralph Lauren, Levi's, Adidas et al, so that sterling garnish of crafted experience, within the Art and Fashion firmament, would inevitably go on to superbly compliment, an ever increasing exploration into the Sub-Cultured perspective of the Casual Scene.
Contemporary vision. Military designs. Dynamic fabrics. Technical innovation. Fine detailing.
Between Neil and Paul, the distinctively technological label has always been about delivering cool clothing, that is consistently tailored to the finest heritage quality, but without all of "the ego and the bullshit."
"Just good gear", for good people, is the essential message, to those who are Sub-Culturally in the know, from the UK, to USA, right through to China.
The astutely named brand is streetwise to the absolute core and knockout smart, to the utter hilt, industriously catering for each individual purchaser.
It is highly popular amongst the lads and lasses, out on the Terraces, for a potent reason.
Liam and Noel Gallagher. David Beckham. Jude Law. Gary Powell. Aitch.
It is the stylish, yet subtle elements, amongst various captivating colourways, within an ever evolving and enhancing scope of nuanced notions and classic features, that has aligned the urban unknown and the global stars together.
Keep the future moving forward -
