Alfred’s Apartment Revisits Surf Heritage With “Garage Days” Spring Line

Summary

• Alfred’s Apartment’s Spring 2025 editorial “Garage Days” reimagines Australian surf culture through a modern streetwear lens.
• Shot in a Gold Coast surf veteran’s garage, it blends cultural relics with the brand’s latest collection.
• The campaign highlights Alfred’s evolution from menswear store to community hub, staying true to its surf heritage and Australian spirit.

For Spring 2025, Alfred’s Apartment returns to its roots with “Garage Days,” a nostalgic yet forward-facing editorial that reimagines Australian surf culture through a contemporary wardrobe.

Shot inside the garage of a Gold Coast surf veteran, the setting alone tells decades of stories: resin-stained walls lined with boards from the ’70s through the ’90s, shaped by legends like Nev, Town & Country and Brothers Neilsen. Parked alongside is a 1986 Subaru Brumby, a symbol of friendship and freedom, evoking the boom years of Australia’s coastal counterculture.

But Garage Days isn’t simply a homage; it’s a bridge between eras. Alfred’s Apartment layers its current collection of tees, headwear, and legwear against this backdrop of cultural relics. The result feels both familiar and renewed; a fusion of heritage and modernity, surf history and streetwear sensibility.

Since opening in Mermaid Beach in 2012, Alfred’s Apartment has evolved from a curated menswear store into a community hub, complete with a flagship space, cafe and even a golf offshoot. Through “Garage Days,” the brand underscores what has always been at its core: surf heritage, storytelling and a distinctly Australian spirit.

The “Garage Days” collection is now available online and at Alfred’s Apartment’s Mermaid Beach flagship.
