Founded on the northern beaches of Manly, Sydney, Australia, by surfer Jess Walker, Enki initially started out as a legitimate way to fund Walker’s exotic lifestyle of surfing and photography around the world. Not satisfied with the mundaneness of society and cookie-cutter fashion brands who served up a continual bowl of "this is what you should like, buy our shit"—with shoots that featured models who looked nothing like real people—Walker set out to completely disrupt the game and showcase what he thought was beautiful, with shoots in Africa with the Mursi tribe wearing Enki, and in India with the Kalbelia gypsies wearing Enki.

Inspired by things that are completely different, Walker then took his camera and photographed a naked Marisa Papen in front of the iconic pyramids of Giza, and later throughout Turkey and Italy. These shots gained massive press, including coverage from the NY Post. Not content with playing it safe, Enki reveled in the so-called "danger zone."

Enki is all about rebellion, owning your look, and being fierce. It is certainly a "fuck you" fashion brand, made for a very special, badass individual who chooses not to fit in—someone who rocks their own style. Instead of what Walker calls meaningless luxury, he’s coined it "savage luxury." It’s dirty, bloody, messy, and unkempt. This is what Enki is about: thinking beyond the ordinary, and embracing the extraordinary.
