Gibson Clothing

With the confidence of youth, the Gibson male explores the traditional confines of menswear, without ever compromising them. By preserving the essence of classic men’s fashion through cunning detail and uncompromising masculinity, he embodies the modern man with sharp cuts and roguish attitude. With this conviction he creates outfits in a nonchalant and unexpected manor whilst remaining highly considered. You can’t help feel the attitude of the Gibson male extends far beyond his wardrobe.

Press Release

Military influence continues to assert its authority this winter primarily in jackets and outerwear. Key styles include structured overcoats and the classic peacoat. A modern utilitarian look is neatly voiced through cunning detail such as tabs and tape. An urban edge lingers in the use of colour accents with minimal splashes of internal colour against the subdued background of brown, grey and black.

This season sees the modern exploration of colour via a sharp monochrome palate. Lean and clean or bold and graphic, in dark and light combinations. A minimal, modern look is created with a slim silhouette and subdued colour. Black, navy, charcoal and chocolate hues are given an edge with the addition of a crisp white shirt. Shiny and lustrous fabrics are used to add interest and texture.

Luxurious textures created from piled fabrics are an essential element. Velvets and moleskins create an opulent look in both tailored and casual wear. This look is carried in both tops and bottoms and matched with patterned pieces, such as floral shirts. Rich autumnal tones of brown, black and berry round out the mature colour palette.
The winter blues are here… Suiting sees the triumphant return of navy and new blues in bi-colour suiting, or for a bolder touch try window pane or Prince of Wales checks.

Tartan also appears throughout, from trousers to shirts and outerwear. Featured as both fine traditional check or bold graphic lines. Double faced fabrics in outerwear represent a more subtle expression of the theme. Contrasted by colour or texture these patterns add a startling touch to the season’s key looks such as duffle coats.
Remember, this winter outerwear is King! An essential piece is that coat. Whether it be the classic slim line cut, or the double-breasted peacoat; when coupled with interesting textures such as piled cashmeres it oozes effortless sophistication of the highest order. Worn in slim proportions it replaces the suit jacket for a younger take.

Killgirls Biography

The Killgirls are a 5 piece rocktronic timebomb ticking in Adelaide, South Australia. This synth heavy indie grid-rock band are gaining momentum having picked up national airplay in Australia (Triple J-Home and Hosed/Super Request) and supports for Art vs Science, End of Fashion, Bang Bang Eche, Oh Mercy!, Hercules in NY and The Bumblebeez. Having played to 300+ at Adelaide’s Parklife festival The Killgirls are teasing the attention of both national and international music communities. Their next gig - Adelaide Fringe Opening Night Party with Art vs Science and Killaqueenz playing to over 40 000 and then the Explode showcase at Fuse.

“..saw these guys at Fuse Fest (’09) - great energy - reminded me of Midnight Juggernauts
but a hell of a lot more pumped up…”
Nick Findlay
Triple J

In the lead up to the launch of their debut EP, The Killgirl’s kidnapped fans for an intimate listening party after luring them into an internet/web based ‘treasure hunt’. The stunt fuelled their sold out launch (which raised the bar on killer Adelaide parties) held in the heritage listed Queens Theatre complete with mirror ball skyline, kick ass light show and spa.

“...best launch ever!”
dB Magazine

The Killgirls 5 track EP was recorded at Adelaide’s Broadcast Studio with Melbourne based producer Jed Palmer and mastered by Mike Marsh at the Exchange in London. The decision to master with Marsh was inspired by his work with Does it offend you, Yeah? Prodigy, The Klaxons and The Presets.

So far 2009 has seen The Killgirls deliver some heavy blows in Melbourne and secure a handful of supports for Australian dancefloor heavyweights. Right now they’re having fun unloading a refined set on new audiences and warming into another writing period in preparation for 2010.

“The Killgirls played an amazing set (supporting the Bumblebeez). Everyone rushed to the dance floor as soon as they came on and stayed there the entire performance. The front man had a real stage presence and I hope they start getting some real exposure because they have star quality.”
