Gareth Moody has a complicated relationship with time. The Chronicles of Never designer admits to enjoying the perks of technology—for example, the jet that flew him in from Australia for last night’s Nylon-hosted party in his honor—but insists that at heart, he’s a Luddite. “That’s where the name of the brand comes from,” he explains. “Never Never Land, a place where no one grows up and there is no time.” Moody’s time-averse designs for Spring ‘09 were on display inside Lower East Side gallery Assembly, the latest stop on a worldwide tour of his art and apparel installation, “BLACK NØISE WHITE RAIN: An Exhibition of the Past / Present and a Viewing of the Future.” By Moody’s lights, the future will look a lot like the distant past. Chronicles of Never’s baggy, asymmetric cardigans; rough-hewn jewelry; and shoes—a new addition to the line—all looked fit for goth-minded androgynous serfs; hipsters, in other words. No surprise, then, that many of the same were crowded into Assembly to catch every fleeting note from psych-rockers Headdress.
