Art punks, fashion drunks and movie stars in shitbox cars.


Whilst perusing the internet, I stumbled across a brand I've never heard of before (but probably should have). 
 

Stolen Girlfriends Club is the brain child of New Zealand based trio, Dan Gosling, Marc Moor and Luke Harwood. The boys have a strong background in surfing and no professional design training....

Sorry, they had me at 'surfing'.
 

Anyway, the boys loved designing clothes for their friends so much that they decided to start a label. The name Stolen Girlfriends Club originated from a theme for one of their art shows and was so popular, they decided to use it as the official name for this new label.
 

I would describe their current collection as edgy and a little bit dark, whilst managing to maintain an effortlessly cool and relaxed vibe. They would describe their current collection as "A nomadic biker gang of sherpa mountain climbers, with their kidnapped trophy girlfriends."
 

And it looks like I'm not the only one who's a sucker for a surf boy. Juliette Lewis is a huge fan of Stolen Girlfriends Club and the label is said to be popular with Kate Bosworth, Beyonce Knowles and Agyness Deyn. Stockists include ASOS, www.buydefinition.com and www.capolla.com and can be brought in store at Liberty London and Start London.
 

Given the current trends for A/W 2010, I think these surfer boys are going to be hugely relevant!
