Deus Ex Machina

If affixing your retro single-fin to the side of your vintage customised motorcycle and navigating the pair of them round winding Cornish backroads or Devon country lanes in search of waves is your idea of a good day out – well, Deus Ex Machina may be the brand for you. Favouring a DIY ethos and a classic aesthetic, the Australian clothing and equipment company lives at the intersection between boards and bikes. That may sound like a narrow niche, but T-shirts, hoodies, and hats bearing the Deus Ex Machina logo can now be spied in some of London and the UK's hippest haunts. No wonder: the clothing is stylish, built to last, and governed by a clear artistic vision.
