We believe all these steps are important as they ensure our clothing retain an authentic artisan feel. As a result, you will receive the best product possible, with design and manufacturing integrity. Fundamentally,  this is inline with our slow fashion ethos. The Explorer Jacket is part of our new collection inspired by Great British adventurers.

Disorder’s early days 

Disorder was established in Birmingham, UK in 1998, with sustainability at our core. The idea for the label came out of our love of the nineties dance scene combined with the desire to put our ideals and ideas into practice. We applied our academic roots, in politics, anthropology, international development and fine art, into a sustainable business. Disorder was hence born out of a need to bring experimental clothing to the blossoming late ninties UK club scene. Disorder’s style was is a fusion between oriental styling, Italian cut, with a subversive British edge.

Slow Fashion

Slow fashion is the opposite to fast fashion and part of the “slow movement“, which advocates for manufacturing in respect to people, environment and animals. As such, contrary to industrial fashion practices, slow fashion involves local artisans and the use of eco-friendly materials. Ultimately, the goal of slow fashion is to preserve skills, crafts and the environment, and to provide value to both consumers and producers.^[1]
