Gaard

In 2020 Jason Lingard launched his diffusion range Gaard; a collection of "not so basic basics" that focussed on tees, jersey dresses and merino knits with shapes inspired by his mainline and a selection of dynamic placement prints.

The Gaard range was born from an Asia New Zealand Foundation trip to Thailand where Jason –as part of a group of ethically-minded Kiwi fashion designers– explored local factories and met with local makers. Settling on a small family-run factory in Bangkok who now makes their tees and hoodies. Their Merino knitwear is knitted by Grace Corner, a quality knitwear maker in China.
