PAINKILLER

PAINKILLER is surely a strange name for a clothing brand.

The word PAINKILLER is opted for its meaning: a medicine that reduces pain, the alternative menswear, that is not overly masculine nor too feminine, neither trend-follower nor boring. The right dose of design blending quality and modernity. Long lasting fashion pieces that could finally become classics and in time, turn into vintage. Wearable and quite like easy-listening records that we turn on repeatedly.

Also this word has a special trait for its origin “pain” and “killer”, 2 negative words combining into one positive. A message of hope and truth; After the rain comes the sun.

Behind beautiful clothes, there are hardworking hands.

“Prescribing the exact dose in design, excessiveness is unnecessary.”

Playhound

No thinking required, wear Playhound

Characterized by a lack of pretense and a slightly off-kilter aesthetic, the Playhound man/boy might roll out of bed, throw on whatever is on the floor and skateboard to band practice while the Playhound woman/girl might put on red lipstick, mix-and-match in a devil-may-care manner and scream the night away at an indie-rock concert. These will ful and independent souls takes orders from no one.
