Komodo X Superdry

Komodo are proud to announce their Ko-llaboration with global street and sportswear
brand Superdry.
They have a long history with their legendary former stores ‘Cult Clothing’ and have
remained friends through their evolution. Komodo’s founder Joe Komodo often
encouraging them to develop their own organic story which is now blooming. They

make into summer t-shirts, and plan to follow this up with new releases soon.
Komodo remains loyal to their independent fashion base but are proud to revive their
old roots with such a prestigious major retailer in Superdry.

The Komodo story

  Kathmandu, where upon falling in love with these beautiful cultures, he decided to combine the
  artistry and skills of the locals with contemporary London life.
• He created a fair and fun brand around a lifestyle that Komodo became famous for. Club wear
  was a huge part of the initial story in the 90’s, and parties were at the centre of the Komodo
  world, putting on infamous parties, quickly building up a reputation for the brand.

  clothes featured heavily on Leonardo DiCaprio in ‘The Beach’ which summed up the Komodo
  travelling and backpacking lifestyle. They even provided the simple black T shirt worn by Angelina
  Jolie as Lara Croft in Tombraider.
