Band of Outsiders (clothing brand)

Band of Outsiders is a London-based clothing label, founded in Los Angeles by Scott Sternberg in January 2004. The company went bankrupt in 2015, and its creditor, Belgian holding company CLCC SA, revived the label after it was unable to sell the intellectual property.

The Brand was inspired by its founder's experience in film, it "targeted a niche market where fashion design, film school and “Wes Andersonian charm” would intersect" and was named after the French New Wave film Bande á Parte by Jean Luc Godard. The brand was known for a commitment to quality construction, which lead to the high prices that drove the company to bankruptcy, as customers were not willing to pay the brand's high retail prices for clothing that was stylistically analogous to clothing readily and cheaply available at other retailers.
