Former

Former is an independent clothing company owned and run by three people: Craig Anderson, Dane Reynolds and Austyn Gillette. Each founder takes a hands-on part in making the range, and the clothes are built to their exact specifications, so what you see is what they actually want to wear.

Slam City, the UK-friendly stockist that lists the label, gives a full overview of each season alongside the pieces Former keeps producing year after year. If you want a feel for the label's character, look at the collections called Cheap Perfume and Audible Refuge. They're a good place to start before you commit to a full outfit.
