Iordanes Spyridon Gogos (ISG), “Wearables for the imaginative” was founded by Jordan Gogos in 2019 with the intention to use the brand as a conduit for community making and co-design. The brand is experimental, non-gendered and innovative in its approaches to sustainability through practice-led design research methodologies. The label staged its first runway show at Afterpay Australian Fashion Week (AAFW) in 2021, receiving widespread acclaim for its colourful celebration of community and collaboration.

Jordan Gogos’s practice encompasses functional art and compression wall textiles, sharing a cross-disciplinary interest in the arts that unites seemingly disparate ideas, Gogos works tirelessly, traversing materials, shape and form. Upon completing his studies in design at the University of New South Wales in 2019, Gogos was granted a scholarship to the world-renowned, Parsons School of Design, New York, where he specialised in industrial design. It was during his time at Parsons that Gogos discovered a passion for textiles, in particular denim, a medium that he sees, when aged and deconstructed meaning, is inadvertently added. Gogos is both socially and environmentally aware, and primarily works with repurposed, recycled and dead stock textiles, given to him by friends and colleagues.

“The trojan horse is the logo fronting the brand. It symbolises the brand’s approach to breaking into the industry and ushering new ideas. So, it’s really about bringing new people into the industry and changing the way we engage in fashion.”
