The folks over at Happy People Don’t Complain recently got a chance to sit down with Gareth Moody. The former Ksubi designer started Chronicles of Never back 2007, and the Australian brand has been taking off ever since. I love the company so I was obviously excited to read the interview. Here’s a little snipet of the conversation.

HPDC: Tell us something about your background and your role at CON?
GARETH MOODY: I was born in Sydney Australia, I also happen to currently live in my place of birth. Actually have not studied beyond my years at school, I decided to tackle things in a trial and error type arrangement, to date it seems to be working. My role atCHRØNICLESØFNEVER, well I’m the founder, director and designer, so I suppose I’m multi-tasking at present.

HPDC: How do you create your designs?
GARETH MOODY: I’m more of a hands on character, I’m also a little old fashioned, I illustrate everything by hand, pencil to paper. I prefer this method of design.

Chronicles of Never‘s Gareth Moody has joined forces with sunglasses maverick Graz Mulcahy to design a line of stylish shades. And, from the look of things, the debut collection is set to be a hot commodity for the sunny days of summer.

Under the label Graz, the spring/summer ’08-’09 collection (autumn/winter for us in the Northern Hemisphere) is a perfect mix of Moody’s signature androgynous looks and Mulcahy’s refined eyewear aesthetic. Each unisex style comes in black or tortoise shell, and is handcrafted from acetate to resist any inevitable wear and tear. The lenses are scratch resistant and the frames boast oversized hinges to ensure that the pieces last as long as their timeless appearance. Plus, with three shapes to choose from, these sunglasses are sure to look good on everyone.
