GhostCircus Apparel is a high end, rockstar
chic, lifestyle oriented fashion line created by
drummer, producer, and designer, Eli James.
In his time as a performer, Eli constantly
found himself altering his clothes from
different designers. As he began customizing
clothes for himself and his friends to wear,
he quickly gained the attention of fellow
musicians who would ask to buy and wear
his designs. When it came time to think of a
name for his newfound passion, Eli decided
to combine his love of the supernatural,
ghosts and how he describes his life, “a
circus.” And thus, GhostCircus Apparel was
born: March 1st, 2015. Though in its early
stages, GhostCircus is quickly taking the
musician’s fashion world by storm.
As a busy musician always on the run, Eli
wanted to create clothing that would fit his
active lifestyle, whether he was practicing
with his bands, including Julien K, Skold, and
his solo project, the Eli James Experience,
traveling, playing shows, going to meetings,
hanging with friends, and everything in
between. “I don’t want to change five
thousand times a day, and I love to layer.
Living in Los Angeles, it’s super hot. So
it’s nice to wear comfortable clothes that
are light and breathable that you can layer
wherever you go. That way, you’re not
wearing the same thing throughout the day,”
says Eli. GhostCircus brilliantly meshes
comfort with style fit
for any occasion.
Because everything at GhostCircus is
designer in all its glory and handcrafted, Eli
says that every piece is a little different from
the next. When it comes to inspiration, his
visions for designs come from the fabric.
Eli’s individual style is raw and edgy, with
post-apocalyptic influences. Think - Edward
Scissorhands meets Star Wars and Mad
Max, and had a stylish love child. Though
he credits a lot of his stylistic influences
to futuristic appeal, Eli also pulls from the
trends of the ‘80s, creating a fashion all his
own.
