Former creative manager at Boss Orange denim Thorsten Bulander has revealed he wants to "create a bridge" between the high street and more expensive denim names, such as G-Star and Nudie, with new menswear brand Duel Denim, which he joined earlier this year.

Bulander said: "We're not a fast-fashion, throwaway brand, but we want to show people they don't have to pay a lot for a high-quality product."
Bulander said Duel Denim keeps prices down by working directly with factories in Turkey and Portugal. "Other brands are overcharging," he added.

The brand, which launched in July, has 22 UK stockists to date, including menswear independent John Anthony in Bristol, and the Old Jeans Store in Truro.

It will add a straight-fit jean and expand the number of washes available from five to 18 for autumn 15, as well as adding jersey separates, including T-shirts, jumpers, cardigans and shirts.
Bulander worked on denim at Hugo Boss for two years until he joined Duel Denim this summer. "I loved the fact the brand was good value for money and I have a lot of freedom and creativity here," he said.

"When you come from a big organisation there are a lot of people at each step of the design process. With a small start-up brand you can really grow the business and get involved with every aspect of the journey."

Duel Denim will be unveiling at the eagerly anticipated, one-of-a-kind show: OFF THE RAILS 2014 - from 30th October - 2nd November. http://www.offtherailsldn.com/brands/duel-denim

This event, located in the Old Truman Brewery, will be an opportunity for the senses; to see, touch, and smell everything that London and the fashion industry has to offer. We will also be swapping ideas and inspiration from other attendants, from artists, to creators, and fellow entrepreneurs who are looking for individual fashion innovation.

Set in the media and artistic haven that is Brick Lane, London, OFF THE RAILS is an eclectic collection of rattlers and shakers; brands that challenge the traditional status quo of clothing in Britain.

With an emphasis on modernity, set against the backdrop of a renovated warehouse, OFF THE RAILS is set to be a celebration of the unconventional. All the businesses taking part are independent. Many work locally. United by a desire to offer an alternative to the 'norm', and breaking the mold of design, OFF THE RAILS is somewhere for new and established businesses alike. It's an environment that nurtures young talent. Breathes life into tradition.

It is also one of the most highly anticipated events in the London fashion calendar.

There will also be an exclusive exhibition by The Other Art Fair, co-hosted by Timothy Everest in celebration of British tailoring and craftsmanship.

In anticipation of OFF THE RAILS 2014, Duel Denim will handing over 100 free tickets to anyone who wishes to attend.

No strings attached.
