OUTSIDERS DIVISION

KINDERGARDEN RIOT

At Outsiders Division, we believe that time is not linear. Inside every adult lives a curious child, and inside every grandparent, a young soul that refuses to fade. This collection is born from that paradox: the encounter of two ages that contradict each other but, when blended, reveal a new way of looking at fashion.

We imagine a world where grandchildren trade coats with their grandparents, where school socks coexist with tweed jackets, and where the innocence of play intertwines with the seriousness of tradition. From that friction emerges something new: a “preppy-punk” aesthetic that obeys neither age nor rules, because we understand dressing as an exercise in layers and blends that, when united, tell different stories.

But beyond clothing, this collection speaks about how we relate to time. We live in a society that demands we grow up fast, hide tenderness, and disguise vulnerability. Our garments suggest the opposite: to play again, to explore again, to reclaim the freedom of experimenting with who you are—regardless of the date on your passport.

For us, fashion is not a uniform of who you should be, but a space where opposites converse. This collection does not choose between youth or old age, between rebellion or tradition. It chooses everything. Because that is life: a constant clash of contradictions that, by coexisting, make us more authentic.

Outsiders Division presents a reminder: growing up is inevitable, but giving up imagination is optional.

“Clothes from the children’s section but in adult sizes.”

Created in 2012 in a Barcelona art gallery by David Méndez Alonso. Under the motto of “Adults who haven’t grown up,” Outsiders Division uses emotions as a tool to draw collections that include a long list of clothing and accessories. Contradiction is always present in his self-proclaimed “Preppy-Punk” designs that link subculture and pop through the free use of colour and imagination.
