What to know about Disturbia
Graphics do the talking
The core is printed tees and hoodies built on goth, grunge and punk references, subverted pop-culture imagery and dark humour rather than plain basics.
Womenswear-leaning alternative wardrobe
Beyond graphics it stocks knitwear, mesh and lace tops, cargos and dresses, with the range aimed mostly at women.
Direct-to-consumer, now funding US growth
Founded in 2003 by two graduates and run from Newcastle upon Tyne with a London base, it sells mainly through its own channels, with minority investors backing American expansion.

Brand facts
Disturbia is an alternative fashion label founded in 2003 by fashion and photography graduates Francis (Frank) Major and Helen Major, operating from Newcastle upon Tyne with a second base in London. It sells graphic tees, hoodies, knitwear, mesh and lace tops, cargos, dresses and accessories rooted in goth, grunge and punk references, subverted pop-culture imagery and dark humour, mostly aimed at women. The business is direct-to-consumer led; Refined Capital Partners holds a minority stake, and US investor Digital Fuel Capital has since taken a minority position to fund American expansion.
