Not content with dominating the twin worlds of high-flying corporate business and sleek ’80s-infused synth pop with their new record Diplomatic Immunity, Melbourne duo Client Liaison are kicking down the door of the fashion world, today launching their ‘Client Liaison Designer Line’.
Described as “high casual beachwear”, it’s everything you’d expect of the band: sharp lines, throwback cuts and, of course, overwhelmingly pastel. As reported by Pedestrian.tv, The gender-neutral line will feature everything from bathers, tees and shorts, to vital accessories like towels, hats and the classic bumbag, with prices ranging from $10-129.
CL’s slogan, of course, already makes for a perfect sales pitch: “Put it on the company card. Too much is never enough. Think nothing. Feel everything. Pleasure is good. Fantasy is truth. Experience Client Liaison.”
Frontman Monte Morgan clears the mantra up a little. “It’s luxury at the beach. You’re totally relaxed but retaining a level of class.”
“At the beach you’ll need a light bag to chuck your beach towel in, somewhere to store your sunglasses at night,” adds Harvey Miller. “Dressing for the summer is all about being prepared.”
The new line was designed together with Kirsty Barros from vintage fashion collective Makers of Belief, who believes that the line “translates Client Liaison’s signature prestigious pop style into high casual everyday wear”.
“Pretty pastels reflecting the ease and effortlessness of Australian culture through fun and functional pieces with a little something for everyone. The collection is the ultimate summer pack of gender free easy wear for an endless summer of fun in the sun.”
While ideal beach weather will soon be upon us, we expect we’ll see just as many popping up at all sorts of summer festivals. Being officially unveiled at a Melbourne launch party tonight, followed by a Sydney party next week, the line will be available from pop up stores in each city for a limited time, as well as on the Client Liaison website.
