After a long series of unfortunate events at Band of Outsiders, including the departure of menswear designer Joseph Pickman (who has since begun working at American Apparel) and vice president of marketing and communications Nicole Cari, the 11-year-old brand is reportedly folding. Fashionista reports that the L.A.-based company, which also decided to forgo formal presentations at New York Fashion Week for their 2014 and 2015 collections, has now laid off a majority of its staff and canceled all fall wholesale orders. Founded by former CAA talent agent Scott Sternberg, Band of Outsiders was a favorite among celebrities including Jason Schwartzman, Kirsten Dunst, Frank Ocean and Rashida Jones, each of whom starred in the brand’s signature Polaroid campaigns.
