Gasius has been making clothing for more than 20 years now. Starting as a skate label back in 1993, Gasius was born out of an older underground label: ‘The Gasface’. The name derives from a classic hip hop track of the same name by 3rd Bass and KMD.
The brand has worked with many of the world’s leading stores and has collaborated with companies such as: Givenchy, Medicom, Porter, Stussy and Nike. Gasius was founded by artist Russell Maurice, starting with 10 hand-painted t-shirts and slowly developing into an underground staple… with a pinch of humour.
These 10 hand painted t-shirts were custom made for friends, and the money from the sales of these paid for the first batch of printed t-shirts, selling in UK Skate stores like Slam City. 'The Gasface' was one of, if not the first in the UK Company to put Graffiti on clothing. After a decade running as The Gasface, the birth of a new line came to be: Gasius.
