State of Disarray: limited-edition festival fashion from Norwich

State of Disarray is a small independent UK fashion brand that designs colourful, unisex clothing aimed at parties, festivals and clubs. The company describes its output as hand-made, limited-edition and ethically tailor-made, with a focus on sequins, animal prints and statement pieces. Its online shop lists 50 products, and the brand also operates a physical shop at 4 Dove Street, Norwich NR2 1DE, which it announced as a new opening.

Product range

The catalogue is organised around a signature dungaree design and related separates. The main categories shown are:

• Dungarees, including the Sparkle Superstar sequin dungarees, Wilderness dungarees and Lux Leopard dungarees.
• Jackets and hoodies, such as bomber jackets, hooded jackets, sequin jackets and the Deluxe Disarray hoodie.
• Bottoms, including Spangle shorts, leggings and joggers.
• Jumpsuits and boilersuits.
• Ultimate Animal Onesies and Party Animal Hoods.
• Accessories and bags, including hand fans and bum bags.
• E-gift vouchers.

Many designs are presented as limited-edition colour combinations. The product pages note that sequin colour or pattern placement may vary from photographs to reduce fabric waste.

Design and materials

The brand's dungarees are described as unisex, with a wide-leg cut and an elasticated waistband. Specific features vary by model. The Sparkle Superstar sequin dungarees use double-sided sequins in a harlequin rainbow print with silver on the reverse, yellow velvet accents on pockets, waistband and inner leg, a zip-up bib pocket, an additional bib pocket, adjustable branded shoulder straps and stretchy sports-style ankle cuffs. The Wilderness and Lux Leopard models use stretch velvet with animal prints, a platinum sequin strip on the outer leg seams, zip-up pant pockets, a zip bib pocket, adjustable straps and elasticated ankle cuffs. Garment care advice for these pieces is hand washing with care.

Production and ethics

State of Disarray states that its clothing is designed in the UK and ethically produced in Hanoi, Vietnam, by a small team of independent home tailors. The company also outlines several charitable and environmental commitments: three trees are planted for every purchase, part of each sale helps fund 40 meals a month for people living below the poverty line in the UK through FareShare, and the brand says it is working towards zero waste in production.
