Iconic clothing brand Kangol is teaming up with Hackney based label Terrible Movement in the first ever clothing collaboration in its 76 year history. Available at an exclusive pop-up event at Boxpark Shoreditch from October 5th<\/sup> \u2013 11th<\/sup>, we caught up with Terrible Movement\u2019s Tersha Willis ahead of the opening to tell us more about this groundbreaking partnership.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n For readers who aren\u2019t familiar, tell us about Terrible Movement.<\/strong><\/p>\n We\u2019re an accountable streetwear brand from Hackney via Kreuzberg. We\u2019d say we\u2019re known for our super low-cut muscle tees and high quality, statement pieces. We make stuff we love to wear and we make sure it has a positive impact on the world – because who wants to make more stuff that doesn’t make people\u2019s lives better? Not us. We have some pretty awesome customers and supporters too – Cara Delevigne and Alana Haim count among those!<\/p>\n What\u2019s your design process?<\/strong><\/p>\n We\u2019re not formally trained designers and we aren\u2019t fashion grads either so our process is probably unique! We\u2019re super inspired by music, art and pop culture, so the relationship between all of those is usually where we start. From there, we sketch stuff by hand and then process it again and again, sometimes digitally and sometimes by hand until we get to something that we know works.\u00a0If one of us doesn’t love it gets binned, if it survives and is loved then we refine it and translate it to apparel – it has to be classic, comfortable, high quality and season-less. By default, that makes it live outside of the fashion world.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n You\u2019ve had lots of musicians wearing your product – is music a key focus for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n Music is so important to us: we live, eat, breathe and sleep it and a lot of our work is deeply rooted in things we hear. We don’t create without it and I think that maybe translates into the clothes we make, and then it speaks to those who make music.<\/p>\n You guys are <\/strong>collaborating with Kangol<\/strong><\/a>. How did this come about?<\/strong><\/p>\n Anyone who knows us or follows us on social media knows how we much we love pizza, so it will come as no surprise that one casual Slice Night meeting at Voodoo Rays this idea was born. It all seems really obvious now, but it dawned on us that Kangol and Terrible Movement actually have a lot in common. We presented some rough sketches and it became really apparent that Kangol and Terrible both speak the same language. A few meetings and sketches later, we all learnt that Kangol had never done a clothing collaboration, so this quickly became a really special collaboration for both brands – we\u2019re rewriting the rules and adding something entirely new to the Kangol story.<\/p>\n
