WHO: TZUJI is a London based clothing label created by DJ trendsetter Larry Tee infamous for writing RuPaul’s “Supermodel (You Better Work)” and forming the club Disco 2000 with Michael Alig at the Limelite in the mid-90s that started the outrageous party Disco 2000 which featured in the cult movie “Party Monster”.

 

WHAT: Club kid meets street kid with oversized and eccentric silhouettes, patterns, fabrics and designs incorporating the vibrant and adventurous essence of the idiosyncratic style of the ‘Party Monster’ mob, revamping 90s club wear in a truly energetic format.

 

WHY: 90s retro is in! Psychedelic multicoloured pattern on pattern, bold animal print sportswear styles, hologram-space age metallics and a rather intriguing mahogany wood print canvas. All instant standouts and unique styles for the bold menswear style devotee.

 

WHEN: Founded in 2013, many of the original pieces were designed from the inspiration of Larry Tee’s one of a kind vintage pieces he would wear onstage. When they were created in soft luxurious fabrics and the cool sportswear shapes they were like high end version of street gear.

 

WEAR: Personal favourites include a textured monochrome bomber jacket and matching ankle cuff trousers, a boxy metallic t-shirt and matching short shorts and neon leopard print tees and matching jersey trousers.
