Junk De Luxe – Street Fashion Meets Savile Row Tailoring
Junk De Luxe clothing offers a unique combination of styling which blends street fashion with smart tailoring and adds a hint of rock ‘n’ roll to produce high quality threads for the urban gent. Junk De Luxe clothing established itself as a major player on the fashion scene in the ‘90s but was actually formed way back in 1986 in Denmark by Thomas Gundorph. Gundorph was one of the first people in Europe to import original second hand jeans from the US and this fashionable Dane redesigned the second hand jeans along with other second hand garments and sold them under the brand name Junk De Luxe. Since 1992 when the first Junk De Luxe collection hit the shelves, this unique fashion label has been big news and word soon spread to the rest of Europe resulting in this brand being the must-have label for any fashion conscious fellas.
One of the major inspirations for the Junk De Luxe clothing ranges was the beatnik generation in the US which included writers and poets such as Jack Kerouac who made existentialism fashionable. The young followers of this generation wore torn and loose sweaters, faded trousers and jeans and crumpled shirts. English tailoring became associated and played a part of this philosophical shift and what you now know as second hand fashion was born. Junk De Luxe have remained true to their beatnik inspiration throughout the years but always stay one step ahead by mixing it up according to new influences. In their words they describe the Junk De Luxe collections as, ‘showing a new mix of beatnik beats: Sartorial slovenliness, remodelled vintage gear, and chic clean-cut T-shirts. Halfway between sophisticated tailoring and progressive Danish contemporary design.’
Each item in the Junk De Luxe clothing collection has been uniquely designed and can stand alone and make a statement as a bold piece of fashion but can equally work in combination with other wardrobe items. Junk De Luxe clothing spans a massive range of apparel and effortlessly combines faded vintage gear with bold colours and contemporary designs with a fit that is unbelievable. Available in our collection are heavy knits for your autumn and winter wardrobe in the Junk De Luxe cardigan and jumper range which include heavy-duty designs and classic colours, scruffy-smart Junk De Luxe jackets and blazers which can be included in your work wardrobe but also styled up for nights out on the town. Vintage Junk De Luxe t-shirts and classic tees can be worn in the day for a casual look, together with the Junk De Luxe hoodies and lumberjack style Junk De Luxe shirts which are ideal for day or gig wear. Junk De Luxe also have a range of more formal shirts which are available in classic colours and are designed to fit with Savile Row perfection making them ideal for a night out or special occasion.
