As history writes it’s memoirs so swiftly now we recognise the raw strength and determination of well used workwear and honour the garments that brought us here.

Each piece of clothing, whatever form it takes, brings with it the story of our land. Bold, brave and ready for the future.

Super talented stylist-turned-photographer Thistle Browne and stylist Heathermary Jackson — both in New Zealand during COVID-19 lockdowns — traveled to Rangitoto Island, a dormant volcano off the coast of Central Auckland, to shoot the new campaign for New Zealand jewelry designer Jasmin Sparrow. The shoot showcases Sparrow’s timeless gold and silver jewelry, and a beautiful collection of hand-beaded bras and skull caps designed with Glen Prentice. Models wore mainly vintage from Search and Destroy and Brownstone Cowboys’ collection, combined with some local, sustainable brands and New Zealand gumboots (rainboots).

Search and Destroy incorporates the concepts of recycling and wabi sabi, the appreciation of beauty in the ageing process. By using these tools to dress body and home everyone can be a part of the change to slow fashion that is so vital for our environment as we move into a new way of living responsibly. Each piece we sell has a unique history that becomes a part of the life of it’s new owner and hopefully brings many years of joy before it is passed on. Reuse and repair.
