WHEREABOUTS debuted in Fall/Winter 2004 as a separate brand line produced by GDC. Its full collection was carried on the first floor of WANDERLUST, a select shop operated by GDC. It was presented under an independent name that did not include GDC, and at the time its product range, including tailored jackets, was distributed mainly in-store. It can be positioned as an example of a derivative brand launch that leveraged GDC’s directly operated retail channels.
