Outsiders Division

Outsiders Division is a European designer streetwear label for men and women, founded in Barcelona in 2012 by David Méndez Alonso. Méndez started the brand because he was tired of seeing the same old things in fashion, where everything felt generic. What began as an idea to create something different became a project to challenge the norm, and one of his biggest goals was to make the brand inclusive, with gender-neutral clothing for all ages. The range covers knitwear, tees, tanks, shirts, shorts, skirts, jackets and statement dresses, plus caps and scarves, known for playful colour, bold graphics and slogans. Signature pieces include sweaters such as Midnight Call, Plastic Bouquet and Star Social Club, the Antoine Shirt, the Unlicensed Athlete Tee and the Business Department jacket. Everything is designed in Barcelona and made mainly in Spain and Portugal. Most collections use organic cotton, including nearly all of its knitwear and 70% of its jackets, and it uses recycled polyester where possible. It works in small batches with partners that ensure fair wages and safe working conditions, so its artisans are not overburdened or rushed. Outsiders Division sells through its own online store.
