Born | Joshua Goot 1980 (age 43–44) |
Nationality | Australian |
Occupation | Fashion designer |
Joshua Goot (born 1980 in Sydney, New South Wales) is an Australian fashion designer and entrepreneur. He was born in Sydney but currently lives in New York. [1] [2]
Goot was born in 1980 in Sydney, New South Wales. Goot later graduated from Moriah College in 1997 [3] and began a BA in Communication (Media, Arts and Production) at the University of Technology Sydney. [4] It was there that he developed an interest in fashion design. After one year, Goot deferred his studies to travel to Europe and the Middle East. [5]
His first label, Platform, was founded in 2000 with his friend Josh Goulburn. [6] The pair split in 2002, but Goot continued with Platform, taking the printed t-shirt line into a youth-focused, street-wear collection. Platform went defunct in 2004.[ citation needed]
In early 2005, Goot launched his label with a capsule of unisex tailored jersey essentials in grey marl and "futuristic" silver. [7] [8] In 2005, the Josh Goot debut collection won Australia’s Tiffany & Co. Designer of the Year Award at the Melbourne Fashion Festival and the Prix de Marie Claire Award for Best Up-and-Coming Designer. [9] In May 2005, Josh Goot debuted a collection and introduced an aesthetic at Australian Fashion Week. [10] [11] Josh Goot pieces appeared on the cover of Women’s Wear Daily for its "marriage between traditional tailoring and the all American T". [12]
In September 2006, Goot showed up at New York Fashion Week, presenting at the Matthew Marks Gallery. [13] [14] He moved to London in 2008, invited by the British Fashion Council to show at London Fashion Week. [15]
Following the financial crisis of 2007–2008, Goot experienced a downturn in his business and returned to Australia in 2009 to focus on his home market. [16] The collections introduced a series of "innovative technological developments in textiles" developed in Goot’s Sydney studio. [17]
In 2010, Josh Goot opened his first retail store in a converted gallery space on Glenmore Road, Paddington, an inner-city suburb of Sydney. [18] In 2011, Goot signed with Australian department store David Jones Limited, opening the Autumn/Winter 2012 launch with a tailored tuxedo suit worn by Miranda Kerr. [19] In 2012, the label moved to Oxford Street, Sydney. Working with architect Andy McDonnell, the new environment introduced audiovisual elements and a retractable roof above a multi-colour carpet that was designed by Shane Sakkeus. [20] In 2013, Goot opened in Melbourne. [21]
He has acted as an ambassador and advocate for Australian Merino Wool. [22] In 2007, Josh Goot was one of the first Australian designers to collaborate with Target Australia in the Designers For Target initiative. [23]
In 2010, Josh Goot collaborated with the Sydney Dance Company on Rafael Bonachella’s 6 Breaths, working with artist and designer Jonathan Zawada on a print-based, unisex identity for the production. [24]
Goot also emphasises silk fabrics, Australian Merino wool and bonded viscose nylons to build an investment for the modern woman. [25]
In 2013, Goot said, "What I wanted to do with the label was to create a modern, urban, Australian fashion brand. It was born out of these core ideals of modernity, modernism and a sense of sport, and I wanted it to capture an Australian point of view in a new way that hadn’t been expressed before." [26] That year, Goot spoke at the Australian Financial Review’s Bespoke Summit at the Sydney Opera House about building a luxury fashion label in Australia. [27]
In February 2015, Josh Goot entered the Voluntary Administration. Goot spoke openly of the company’s "downward spiral", [28] citing "well-documented external factors at play within the domestic industry." [29] The company emerged from Voluntary Administration and control was returned to Goot as sole director. [30] [31]
