New beginnings: Former Rich Lister and Ksubi designer, George Gorrow (pictured), appears to be back in the world of menswear, after the news was posted on Instagram on Saturday

Flagship: Ksubi co-founder, Gareth Moody (pictured with George Gorrow) posted that the pair have launched a new menswear store in Bali.

The accompanying image shows Mr Gorrow and Mr Moody posing in their new flagship store in Bali, alongside rails of minimalistic T-shirts and trainers.

While Ksubi obviously fell into disrepute in 2010 following claims of mismanagement, plenty of people seemed excited by the news on social media.

Fan base: Ksubi was founded as a streetwear label in 1999 by Gareth Moody, Dan Single, George Gorrow, Paul Wilson and Oscar Wright (pictured: George Gorrow and Erin Wasson)

Notorious: Mr Gorrow was banned from managing a company or being a director for three years by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission in 2013

'I've been waiting years to hear this,' one person wrote.

'This is music to my ears,' another added.

Ksubi was founded as a streetwear label in 1999 by Gareth Moody, Dan Single, George Gorrow, Paul Wilson and Oscar Wright, and it enjoyed huge early success.

News: At the time, there were claims of mismanagement (pictured: Ksubi catwalk)

Big name: However, it was incredibly successful, was stocked in boutiques all over the world and has been worn by countless bloggers and It girls (pictured)

As well as being stocked in boutiques all over the world, the label has been worn by the likes of Nicole Richie, Miranda Kerr and Cheryl Cole, as well as countless It girls and bloggers.

Much has been kept under wraps about the new label - but many will be hoping it will offer the same fashion-forward approach as Ksubi.

The flagship store is located on 97 Batu Bolong Canggu in Bali.
