Gabe Gordon is a New York based brand innovating textiles through distinctive signatures and slow, hand crafted ways of making. Since 2019 the eponymous brand has married the nostalgia of knitwear with the discomfort of identity - infusing horror landscapes into collections grappling with decay, agitation, comfort and discomfort. The designs begin with the development of the fabric: hand-loomed, hand-dyed, hand-woven. Signature processes - such as space dyeing yarn and his distinctive moth hole technique - attest to the primacy of process and time in the creation of garments. Objects, impressions of vintage and contemporary sportswear, clothes worn by family and friends, and images of his parents in high school influence the characters and worlds of each collection.

Images of nostalgic Americana operate in tension with queer experience, producing an eerie sensibility of the self and its woven second skin. Dedication to intimacy and object connection imbue pieces with a distinct capacity for regeneration: Gabe Gordon imagines a world without limits. Acceptance, inconsistency, fear, pleasure and bodily possibility are woven into the pieces and transformed on the wearer.

Their Eau De Parfum is available at distal phalanx ahead of their SS26 collection which is due to arrive early 2026.
