As you may have heard already, Arlo Eisenberg, formerly of Franco Shade Clothing, has started a new label called GOST. I am happy to announce that I (Jess Dyrenforth) will be joining Arlo in this new venture.
Arlo and I have been friends for over fifteen years. In that time we have worked together on many projects. We toured the world together with the Roces Team and helped to develop the first aggressive inline skate, The Majestic 12. We collaborated for many years, along with Angie Walton, on Daily Bread Magazine. And finally, in 2004 Arlo and I became neighbors in Downtown Santa Ana in The Artists Village. Nothing could be more natural than Arlo and I embarking on this new chapter together.
Now I know a lot of questions will come arise on whats the fate of England Clothing... we will still proceeding with THE ENG. in 2009 but hope to focus a lot more on cut and sew, and focus more on items like jeans/ cords/ etc., just so thats out of the way, THE ENG. will still be stronger then ever in 09, but it is a complete seperate venture.
I cannot tell you how excited I am about my new future with GOST. With Arlo's creative direction and my fifteen years of experience handling production GOST promises to be a standout brand that will hit the ground running!

Cheers,
Jess
