Designer Marc Moore & Zara Mirkin
Based Auckland
In 2005 Stolen Girlfriends Club was founded by three Kiwis; creators and partners in transgressions: Dan (Gosling), Marc (Moore) and Luke (Harwood), who despite their Christian names sounding like a meeting of biblical proportions, are indeed full of vices. They have been described as a “motley crew of surfers done good”, who’s collective and accidental creative talents have seen them forge careers in marketing, branding, distribution and design. From their remote base in Auckland, New Zealand they have developed a growing legion of underground fans including style leaders Juliette Lewis, Kate Bosworth, Peaches Geldof, Ashlee Simpson, Harley Viera’ Newton and The Cobra Snake. They employ tactics that encourage a fresh approach, whether it be doing things the other way around, balking at qualified expertise and industry approval yet possessing a hell of a lot of instinct. They have developed a brand that is not overtly complex but fresh and cheeky which has been embraced throughout NZ, Australia, Japan, the US and increasingly through Europe.
