In the ever-evolving world of streetwear, Gallery Dept blurs the line between fashion and fine art. A Los Angeles-based clothing label, Gallery Dept celebrates creativity, individuality, and sustainability. In modern streetwear, Gallery Dept has become known for its distinctive aesthetic and cult following.
Galleries Department Origins
Multi-disciplinary artist Josué Thomas created Gallery Dept. in 2017 after customizing vintage clothing in his LA studio. A passionate artistic project quickly became a full-fledged label known for its distressed denim and painterly graphics.
As much as a fashion brand, Gallery Dept is a gallery with its handcrafted pieces and deconstructed details.
An Aesthetic Signature
A gallery department’s style is instantly recognizable. Try to imagine:
- Painted denim jeans with custom distressing and paint stains
- Featuring retro and rebellious themes on oversized graphic tees
- Stylish hoodies and jackets made from hand-altered fabrics
- A nod to the 1970s with flared pants and patchwork styles
The anti-fast fashion approach has resonated with fans of streetwear and individual style.
A sustainable fashion brand with an edge
Gallery Dept promotes upcycling and sustainability at its core. Reworking vintage clothing and deadstock fabrics, the brand produces high-end pieces rather than mass-market items. Providing both style and substance, this low-waste production model speaks directly to the growing eco-conscious audience in fashion
