Scott Sternberg debuts new label Entireworld

Scott Sternberg, founder of Band of Outsiders, has launched a new
clothing label, Entireworld, featuring more affordable basics for men and
women which he claims will be “more democratic” this time round.

“The question is why would I even want to start a clothing brand right
now. Aren’t there enough brands out there? Aren’t there enough clothes?
Didn’t I do this already, and didn’t that like—not end so well?” asks
Sternberg in a video released to launch his new brand.

Sternberg goes on to add: “Then I thought about everything I love about
clothing – colour and fabric, its connection to history, film and music.
Then I started to think about what it would be like to make something more
democratic this time, without compromising anything about the design or the
quality.”

The video clip gives a nostalgic feel, cut with footage from films,
famous ads, and images of iconic brands, as well as his beloved pup Zod, to
highlight the idea that brands can create something meaningful, the concept
behind his new label, “this idea of utopia, building a perfect world from
scratch, a blank slate with a sense of logic, integrity, optimism and
purity,” Sternberg explains.

The idea is that Entireworld offers clothes “you live in” from brightly
coloured basic T-shirts to cashmere knits, cardigans, sweatshirts,
underwear and socks for men and women. With some pieces made from 100
percent organic cotton or 100 percent recycled cotton.

Former Band of Outsiders founder returns with new line Entireworld

Unlike his previous Band of Outsiders designs, Entireworld is much more
affordable with prices for women starting from 15 dollars for socks, 25
dollars for a T-shirt and 95 dollars for a sweater, while for men prices
start at 15 dollars for socks, 30 dollars for T-shirts, 95 dollars for
shirts, and 125 dollars for trousers.

There are some premium pieces including the debut collection such as a
225 dollar cashmere sweater for men and women that the website describes as
being “super thin, like deli-sliced,” while a silk printed blouse for women
featuring a tiny quotation mark print is 185 dollars.

“I started to think about what it would be like to make something
more democratic this time, without compromising anything about the design
or the quality”

This is Sternberg’s first foray back into fashion since he posted a
goodbye message to the Band of Outsiders social media that the brand was
closing in 2015. He launched the menswear label in 2004 and became an
instant hit with editors and consumers for his shrunken dress shirts. The
brand has since relaunched with the support of a Belgian holding company,
CLCC, and has just opened a pop-up at Fred Segal.

Entireworld is available now online with global shipping.
