Stolen Girlfriend's Club

Stolen Girlfriend’s Club is a New Zealand based label that fuses modern day street wear with nostalgic hints to the days of peace movements and rock and roll. This is the type of label where you wish it was okay to spend all your hard-earned cash on an entire collection. Stolen Girlfriend’s Club features both menswear and womenswear, with each collection hosting more creative drive than your average designer. The label consists of heavily structured pieces, with unexpected tailoring and cuts. Although the garments appear to be left relatively untouched, keeping in the basic outline of their cut, they are in fact subtly tailored to create intriguing hemlines and off-beat necklines- this is where Stolen Girlfriend’s Club earns it’s brownie points.

Stolen Girlfriend’s Club begun life in the fashion industry in your typical journey through life way. This is the their self described version of their journey into fashion: “We started out as an art band but nobody liked our music because it was sh*t. So we tried to be artists but got sued for copying Basquiat. Then we wanted to be pro surfers but everyone was doing it. So we traded it all for high fashion/low income. Now we make clothes, fine jewelry, leather goods, and other things for our friends.” It seems the designers of Stolen Girlfriend’s Club can spin a good story just as good as they spin a garment together.
