Sunday 1pm with a regular customer; lovely Rhona & her equally lovely husband Steve. It was their first visit to the studio for a fitting to try on a Disorder made to measure coat.

Am sure something about this studio space makes us chat like there's no tomorrow...we covered a range of topics from religion, class, poverty of aspiration to our mutual dislike of the word, 'fashion,' as it has transient & mass production connotations.

Rhona talked about how she has always enjoyed supporting the artisan and like me, shops with a conscience.

I felt pretty psychic when I put on Depeche Mode, assuming that they were DM fans for some reason & turned out they are going to see them in Twickenham in June, well done me 😁.

Thank you for coming over both, was gr8t meeting you! 💜 ... See MoreSee Less

I don't always do posts of everyone who pops in; some customers like it private, but here are some of our regulars popping in...

Today we were super excited to see Ian B Bullock, lots of chat about music again...his meeting with the late Maxi Jazz when he was deejaying at the same gig as Faithless, (think I would have died if that happened to me). Told Ian how mad I was at myself for not going to House of God's 30th Birthday night the other week and missing the secret DJ which only turned out to be Jeff Mills 🤯!!!

Thank you Ian for driving nearly 3 hours to come see us & back, glad you love our new atelier patchwork coats! Xx

Yesterday we had our photographer friend Paul Ward who popped in to drop off some denims for us to do some serious surgery on them...will try our best but not promising anything 🤣!

Then, lastly there is a photo of young student activist & anarchist Paddy Crosby who came to pick up his bespoke trench coat order which he was very chuffed with...he was worried now that his order was done, he wouldn't see us anymore but we reassured him that he can come anyway for our Disorder therapy, without the retail bit! ❤

Take Care everyone, its been a long winter so far, pm us if ever you fancy a visit here. 👍

More suave modelling by Mark, just hot off our Birmingham handcrafting studios by our talented makers, still yet to put buttons on but due to high demand, had to share these before they get snapped up! Made with British wool cloths, using up our off-cuts to take exclusivity & zero waste to the next level.

Ian B Bullock for when you go dining with my secret crush Clive Myrie and Jonathan Ross? ... See MoreSee Less

Brilliant Saturday morning, having Tom come round for a fitting of some made to measure jackets he ordered to wear when largeing it out in cocktail bars in Spain. Amazes me how many conversations, opinions we can pack in what invariably unknowingly turns into a few hours flown by. Always a pleasure to see you matie, missed Fiona Johnson this time 💙❤.

Although they have been customers for years at the city centre shop, it was Russell and Gavin's first actual visit to the studio a few weeks ago. Russell is a retired banker and Gavin is a physiotherapist. They placed orders on a number of items and came to pick up their garments today. We had a fab time chatting to them whilst they tried their orders on. Such lovely people, Disorder clothing looked stunning on them. Sneaked in some unmissable tattoos too! Thank you so much for making the journey to come see us. 🥰

Went to the unveiling of Cover Up Quilts Exhibition last night, a Birmingham Aids & Hiv community art project lead by a customer Garry Jones , pictured below to mark 40 years since the beginning of HIV. 52 quilts have been lovingly made & you can admire the workmanship across The Rep, The Symphony Hall & The Exchange & Birmingham Library till 4 Feb 2023. The quality, the arty punky, anarchist vibe of the first few preview quilts we saw last night, has only made me feel like returning & spending a proper day absorbing it all. Highly recommend a day out on this, we took our 9 year old after educating him about the ground breaking moment of Lady Di...her tribute quilt said it all.

Absolutely amazing up scale achievement, thank you Garry & Co for organising this, an incredible touching endeavour for Birmingham to be proud of & reflect upon. ❤🙏 ... See MoreSee Less

Incase some of you fancy watching this on this nice cold, wet, drizzly somewhat pleasant Sunday, below are links to the ITV program that I was interviewed for ref Fast Fashion. In the end its just a short slot but hope it was articulate enough to get the point across in this restricted air time media world...thanking Amrit Birdi from ITV for the pleasure to vent some of our views on the subject matter.

Our first customer of 2023 at our Edgbaston studio is David from Bristol...he has been a customer for years. So, not only do our customers love our designs and wear them to death, they also get Mark's artwork tattooed, pictured here 👇... what can we say, its such an honour!

David works for the Ambulance Services 🚑🚑 and we had an insightful lengthy chat about the current strikes and questioning on balance whether the ambulance sector should be going on strike at all...we talked about the inevitability of AI coming to the NHS and also remembering that time during David's global trotting days when we had to mail him a Disorder t-shirt to Australia in 2010 😄...

In the end, David said he prefers our new set up eventhough he didn't know what to expect and loved our original store at Needless Alley, he sees this as a natural extension to what was before.

Great to catch up David, thank you for coming to see us all this way, all the best for the new year! ❤ ... See MoreSee Less

Hope you are all having a good Xmas...

Our first customer to come & see us after Boxing Day was Elvis, dressed here in all pure Disorder clothing. Yes, he is called, 'Elvis,' & totally lives up to his name...just a really beautiful man, inside & out. Elvis was one of our very first customers to walk into the shop when we opened in 1998 and at the time, bought the most radical trousers we stocked. I remember thinking, we must be on to something if the shop was attracting individuals like Elvis...When we shut our Needless Alley store just after lockdown, Elvis turned up with his strong team & truck and evacuated all the shop's units & fittings for us, just like that, he has been a real hero to us.

So, even after 24 years, we only have to look at him and we get inspired to create new designs, Elvis is most definitely our Disorder menswear's muse ❤...thank you Elvis.

Now, working on new stuff today already, watch this space guys! 💣

Some photos of customers trying more Disorder clothing...1)Tim, seen here in the big photo, is from the Forest of Dean & has a forestry business using old practices, an environmentalist, we had depressing conversations about net zero & climate change. He has been wearing Disorder for years and took a whole load of our business cards because he said people keep asking him where he gets his clothes from, lets face it though, he is a good clothes horse! We all got very excited when we discovered that he too home educates his 3 young children with his wife; we didn't realise we were on the same page about that as well 😄!

2)Top right hand picture shows Phil with his bespoke Disorder shirt. Phil is a nhs anethsist and gave me a lovely happy hug before leaving! Thanks Phil!

3)Stylish Harve works in Planning for conservation of significant buildings in London, he has been a Disorder customer since he was young too 💗.

4)Josh a digital marketer for the gaming industry, bought this black Disorder tie top to wear to Tokyo when he goes in January...he was talking to us about the guy that invented Pokemon! 😃

Thanks for squeezing us in your busy schedules people! 🙏

Thursday evening we had a visit from friends duo Leigh & Kelli. Leigh is the dynamic founder of Bit-Phalanx, an all round management company for unsigned electronic artists. Leigh has brought us musicians like of Coppe` & EIF to the shop...to which we will be eternally grateful for, enlightening us with their unique sounds. Lately, Leigh has been working on Bjork's release of her whole back catalogue. He has also been shopping with us since he was 18, & over the years has written very memorable reviews on Disorder.

The glam & gorgeous Kelli Ali was up from London for the weekend. She was the singer of Sneaker Pimps from the 90s, some of you may well remember their Top of the Pops hits, 6 Underground, Spin Spin Sugar etc.

Great evening chatting away about music, film making, creating art & putting on big events. Luv our customers, all such free thinkers. 🎵🎹🎧🎤👄📽❤🖤

Yesterday morning with the one & only John, he came to pick up some t-shirts he ordered and whilst here, he tried on a Disorder biker style jacket, made with British wax fabric, and a pair of Disorder khaki streety trousers. Super finance man during the day who is into dark industrial electronic music & ultimately finds peace in balancing his life through all encompassing yoga 🧘‍♂️ in his spare time...we don't see you enough John, hope to see you more in the New Year! ❤
