[02]Overview

A clothing project with a controlled attitude.

An independent streetwear identity with a direct visual language: bold type, controlled contrast, and graphics built to survive a garment.

An independent label I co-created in 2026 and still run — over 50 garments sold to date. Black, white and gold, heavy type, crest graphics and industrial campaign direction — a brand world that feels strong without becoming random.

I own the design side end to end: the mark and its lockups, the graphic element set, every product graphic and its placement on the garment, the campaign art direction, and the drop communication and digital rollout. The constraint that shaped it is print: a crest has to hold at chest scale, on black, through a screen-print, which rules out most of what looks good on a screen.
