FAIRY-TAILS && NIGHTMARES

Gareth Moody has worked for brands like Ksubi (formerly Tsubi). He's flying solo now with what he named Chronicles of Never. Its another uni-sex line. There is a consistant use of leather, cotton, denim, knits.

"Tailoring consists of suits, vests and trenches in mercerized wool or metal-cotton combination. Subverting the idea of formal suiting, Moody attributes raw edges and utilizes the memory of metal for crumple and texture.

Knitwear takes various forms: the heavily draped poncho and the boiled wool vest being key. Knit is also paired with soft, raw leather that drapes on the frame and the leather shoes have evolved into a series of new and wearable cobbler-esque styles.

New denim offerings for both man and woman come in a range of fits and washes with a shared paired-back aesthetic. Maintaining a slim leg, waists and crotches are offered are various heights with a dark palette of grey, ink-navy and a waxed black."
