King Apparel

The story so far...

Urban Streetwear brand King Apparel launched in 2003 across 20 stores in the UK, with the King/New Era 5950 Caps. The following year saw UK Grime rappers Crazy Titch and Sway featuring in the King's ad campaign in RWD magazine. Selfridges quickly jumped on the trend and featured the brand in their streetwear department - by this time a full collection was imminent.


In 2006  King Apparel was available across Europe with their first denim styles and their trademark ‘connect hoodie’ featuring in their collection.

The brand is heavily influenced by the music scene, helped by the support of Plan B and Dubstep DJ/producer Plastician, who joining the team in 07.  The most notable collabo was a one off range of Defy tees for Chemical Records in 2009. 



In 2008 Plastician held a King Apparel event in London that included live performances by Joker, Virus Syndicate, J2k and Wretch 32.

Last year saw the introduction of their limited edition Starter Snapback Black Label collection - Kings are the first UK brand with the coveted Starter Black Label premium affiliation. BIG

Heretics Tees

her⋅e⋅tic

/n. ˈhɛrɪtɪk; adj. ˈhɛrɪtɪk, həˈrɛtɪk/ [n. her-i-tik; adj. her-i-tik, huh-ret-ik]
“Anyone who does not conform to an established attitude, doctrine, or principle.”

From Bernini’s Baroque sculptors scattered and praised throughout Vatican City and Rome to the hedonistic meandering of Lord Byron inspiring the pop art of Warhol, Heretics have shaped and refined our culture.
The brand was born to celebrate their legacy and remember their genius without conforming or diluting their artistry.

The look

Heretics tees are elegant and sophisticated chic with the style advocating reflective fashion, by means of clearly illustrated designs each telling their own story, and avoiding the funny or loud slogans associated with many t-shirt brands.
Heretics tees are produced and manufactured in London.



A couple of our favourites from the collection...

Astronaut 2001

Heretic Stanley Kubrick “A SPACE ODYSSEY” is an epic drama of adventure and exploration.



Player 

Inspired By Marquis de Sade, the revolutionary french politician definied the word 'Player'.
