Something

Already responsible for creating some of the most innovative surf threads on the planet, Nathalie Wood, Creative Director of Aussie label Insight, released her own side collection Someting, Something Else in May last year. And now the label is finally coming to Europe...

Influenced just as much by art, as the chilled aussie lifestyle, Nathalie started her career in high end fashion before moving to skate brands. First she took styling and trends to Insight, progressing surf style into young, brighter and more dynamic direction - for both the street and beach.
