Knox & Gobel at New York Fashion Week
Marlon Gobel is a New York luxury men’s fashion designer who studied art and design at London’s Central Saint Martins, London, as well as New York City’s Fashion Institute of Technology. His collaborations over the last 8 seasons have included designers and companies such as Christian Louboutin, Swarovski, PEPSICO, and GANT. These collaborations have attracted support and acclaim from influential, well-established designers Tommy Hilfiger and Thom Browne...just to name a few.
Gobel contacted KNOX a few months ago for his newest collection, “TRANSHUMANISM”. Since then, KNOX and MARLON GOBEL have been working together to create something different and exciting for the Spring/Summer 2015 New York Fashion Week Season.
For British Innovators, KNOX, this is a collaboration which places the brand into a new high fashion arena. It showcases cutting edge Motorcycle design with men’s high fashion together to dramatic effect.
Managing director of Knox, Geoff Travell commented
“When the MARLON GOBEL menswear brand first approached us we jumped at the opportunity to collaborate with him because it introduces the KNOX brand to a new and much wider audience. We understood Marlon’s “TRANSHUMANISM” concept, so it’s been an exciting and different project for us. We are looking forward to hearing the reaction from the fashion world and future projects with Marlon Gobel”

“While I was researching my concept of “TRANSHUMANISM” for the MARLON GOBEL S/S 2015 show I was looking for a modern, well-established sports body-armor brand to collaborate with for this season. And with the history of specializing in solid design and amazingly manufactured Hand Armor; KNOX fit perfectly with our newest collection & show in New York City on September 10, 2014. Our collaboration has been fantastic, and we are also looking forward to the inevitable combining of KNOX’s highly respected manufacturing and body armor technology with the MARLON GOBEL design aesthetic in future projects.”
