Cardiff band front UK launch
of clothing range



An up-and-coming Cardiff rock band, The New 1920, is fronting the UK launch of established Australian street clothing range, Syke.

Syke is the brain child of Japanese designer and artist Tri Vo from Melbourne, Australia. He began the fashion range over 10 years ago and his work is inspired by ‘hentai’ anime, meaning ‘strange appearance’ in Japanese. The range currently includes t-shirts, jeans, jumpers and cardigans.

The trio behind the UK launch of Syke, Ross O’Leary and founders of Neon Events & Marketing, Nick Miles and Kate Novell, have already lined up a number of stockists across south Wales including Cardiff’s Pavilion, A2 in Merthyr Tydfil, The Edge in Neath and Route in Blackwood.

As well as stocking the range at retailers across south Wales, the clothing is also available to purchase online at www.sykeclothing.com The New 1920 www.myspace.com/thenew1920
