Chronicles of Never‘s head designer Gareth Moody is collaborating with Lee Jeans for GLM for Lee, to infuse his “dark aesthetic” into this entirely built from scratch collection. Moody worked closely with Lee Jeans in all aspects of the full collection, from tees to jeans to outerwear. GLM for Lee hits shelves in April, in conjunction with Lee Jeans’ new Queensland store opening. If you didn’t think Lee Jeans were cool before, well, they just upped their cool quotient big time. This is one of the most exciting collaborations to have surfaced recently in the denim industry, and we’re eager to see how this will turn the brand around for a new generation of Lee Jeans devotees. Watch the campaign video for a teaser of what’s to come.

Chronicles of Never is the label founded by Gareth Moody, formerly one of the founding members of Tsubi, now Ksubi. He branched off to go solo in 2005 to launch Chronicles of Never, a minimalist and androgynous collection comprised of apparel, footwear and accessories.
The Cubism Jean is the answer to the slouchy skinny for men. A five pocket jean, simple and free of embellishments in a light weight denim. Gentlemen, rock these jeans with a Chronicle’s buttery soft 2nd Skin Leather Jacket and kick-ass Stab in the Dark Boots and you will be so bad-ass stylin’!

Finally, we Yanks can shop Aussie style via MyCatwalk, a new international e-commerce site based in Australia. The site is so new that some items are not yet in stock, namingly, the Chronicles of Never inventory. However, I can still get Nobody jeans, peruse through their lot of Ksubi jeans, as well as other hot non-Australian denim labels such as Nudie jeans. And you know what, the prices are what you might find in any U.S. site.
In case you may be wondering, MyCatwalk also stocks items from its neighbors, so you can shop Kiwi style — like Karen Walker of New Zealand — as well. Keep an eye out for new designers to be added to MyCatwalk’s online inventory. I’m sure there are tons of up-and-coming Australian denim labels just waiting to be included.
For a limited time, take advantage of free shipping to the U.S. Now that’s Australian for a good deal.
