Order by Disorder is a Tennessee based clothing brand by skater and photographer Brooks Morrow. Inspired by skate photography in magazines, Brooks found his spark to make clothing of his own under a name inspired by his interest in conspiracy theories and fear of the world we're in. He's been silkscreening from his garage since quarantine and hopes to continue making clothes while working on other projects as well.
"The physicality and tactile qualities of a print on fabric really makes me think of them as actual “art objects” in the sense that they hold meaning in being worn on a human body." - Brooks
