STAND International was started in Las Vegas in 2003 by designer Paul Fields. Its vision - to create a street-wear label that makes a positive difference in the world. Stand's popularity as a 'stand up for what you believe in' label has seen many notable US bands, and even some well known celebrities, wearing the label.
STAND is a cutting-edge street-wear label designed for the fashionable man. The label's distinct name resonates loudly with the heart of all men and, since returning to Australia, has quickly drawn a firm following from within the Australian market.
STAND is well known for its great fit, eye catching graphic tees and attention-to-detail garments.
The future looks promising for STAND as it continues to develop into a dominant international label; capturing new markets, new believers, and along the way, making a positive difference in the world.

Your understanding/interpretation of this year's theme of 'reflection':
The art of 'reflection' begins with turning the spotlight on oneself.
Inside all of us is the power to do good or evil and what we choose to follow, determines how we reflect our character (light) influencing others and society. Are we allowing others to shine or fade?
