Anarchy Jack

90x90 Anarchy Jack - Faded Empire scarf

The Union Jack, also known as the Union flag was our inspiration for the Anarchy Jack scarf. We wanted to create something that was both British and punk, with a raw deconstructed feel.  The term Jack refers to a flag flown by a ship; the galleon being our emblem.

We chose to represent the Jack in bold splatters of ink because it sits well with our idea of celebrating the chaotic as well as the ordered. We like the idea of faded Empires evolving new identities.  Anarchy Jack is about a new Britishness, it represents good craftsmanship and is made in the UK.  It comes in 4 distinctive colour ways, at 90x90cm or 140x140cm.  We intend to add to the range of Union Jack scarves each season as part of our permanent collection.

          

AW11 Cecilia Scarf

Here's our AW11 "Cecilia" Bondage Doll scarf as worn by a friend. These are designed so that the wearer can choose to reveal or conceal the cheeky bondage clad doll. We like the way she's worn it here so that the handcuffs show at the back.  See below for all three designs posted a few days ago. x

Available from Coco de Mer, Monmouth Street, in June.

London Girl

Our model Phoenix on being a Londoner

"London is my home. I was born in Nigeria, but have lived and grown up here since I was one an half years old.  It's all happening here, and I'm in the heart of it living it,  fuelled by all the art, music and fashion."


Phoenix travelled down to Brighton for this shot, in which she's wearing a 90x90cm Anarchy Dog scarf. Contrary to the weather forecast,  it was one of the hottest days of the year and she was an absolute trooper putting up with the heat and glaring sunshine while the crew melted.

Earl of Bedlam Launches Age of Reason Scarves in Style

We were most honoured to be part of the Earl of Bedlam's stunning launch party last night as they set sail on fashioable seas flying the Age of Reason flag alongside their amazing t-shirts and tailoring. 


By 8pm when we arrived the throng was buzzing with talk of the newly arrived, and spectacularly fun Mayor of Lambeth-  Councillor Christiana Valcarcel. The mayor gave a passionate, rousing, speech thanking The Earl for making their home in Lambeth. And without any further ado she cut the ribbon declaring the shop "OPEN!"  The party soon kicked off with some impressive vocals and piano playing from Mr Andrew Roachford of  Mike and the Mechanics. There followed much stomping and sing along into the night. We thoroughly enjoyed it. 




She shop currently stocks our 3 "Bondage Doll" scarves and our signature Union Jack scarf "Anarchy Jack".  

 Bondage Doll Scarves

"Tie me Up" 

The scarves are 100% silk and come in 90x90cm. They can be pre-ordered through Earl of Bedlam, from May. These will also be available from Coco de Mer from June.  

We won't forget the fab Mayor bopping to Andrew Roachford. 
We salute you Earl of Bedlam,  you truly rock.

Age of Reason AW11 Collection

Here is another sneak preview of 4 pieces from our debut collection

Anarchy & Order by Age of Reason.

This little punk fella is called Anarchy Jack and comes in 3 colour ways, each showing him styled slightly differently. 

It is entirely fitting that our "Anarchy Jack" scarf below is launching at Earl of Bedlam. 

They are the HQ of Brit-punk chaos and confusion; true London punk.

New Scarf Book

Thames Hudson have just published this fab book on scarves, described as "The definitive work on scarves in the 20th century." We are particularly enjoying the Westwood and Liberty ones.
