As the brand name blatantly expresses, Renegade Republic is a design house made for those who are not afraid of who they are, who dare to express their individuality through eye-captivating clothing; by colourful fabric patterns or bold design cuts, nothing is lost through the talents of creator Marita Daniell. A Bali based creative, Marita has called the colourful island her home during the past decade, with intermittent global trips to spice up her eye of what makes the client of Renegade Republic tick. She started the line by exclusive collections and production for others, which were enormously received to positive praise, in Indonesia as well as her homeland of Australia.
Realising a potential for cutting edge styles Marita opened her first store on well-known, busy Jalan Legian in downtown Kuta two years ago. The collections literally flew off the shelves, and before she knew it she was bringing out four collections per annum, and expanding into wholesale across Indonesia, Australia as well as trendy Europe, where artsy, unconventional apparel is the norm. The collection extended into women’s’ and men’s wear, accessorized with shoes, bags, and sandals (for the gals) – for younger adult wearers to those who dare or can get away with it (think fashionable cougars, sorry guys, no category for you – albeit think the Brad Pitts and George Clooneys).
The second store was soon to follow opening on fashionable Jalan Oberoi, which has become an active main street of Seminyak comprising brand name designer boutiques, world-class restaurants and famous Ku De Ta beachside restaurant and world event venue. Renegade Republic was once again the centre of it all and setting the scene. Marita today focuses on two to three major collections per year, to which she adds to as she progresses on a permissive creative bent. Now highlighting T-shirts and Shirts for the men’s collection, in light cottons and cotton rayon jersey to compliment the tropical climate, with heavier fabrics coming into play for export orders, she does not overlook the important size factor which caters up to XXXL.
The women’s collection is broader (pun aside) compromising of skirts and dresses – maxi, mini, off the one-shoulder neo punk minis, short plunge halter necks, or figure clinging Baby-T cut above the knees – in delicious fruity colours of crushed strawberries, tie die crushed blueberries, or freshly cut green, as well as leather jackets (the a-symmetrical fitted zipped is a particular favourite), pants (think silk cargo peddle pushers, great combo), the wispiest short shorts, and Renegade Republics’ famous motif T-shirts and tops.
These all look fabulous teamed up with the ankle boots, or sandals, with a little clutch bag to add a glamorous look – this is some serious glammed up goth-grunge, straight out of any fashion shoot from a international magazine not to be named! Marita herself is a very glamorous damsel who showcases her brand to the max wanting us all to know where she got the dress/bag/boots? And now we all know ~ Renegade Republic.
