Gallery Dept: Using Artistic Expression to Rethink Streetwear

Gallery Dept is a movement that incorporates art, fashion, and revolt throughout every stitch, not just a streetwear brand. In the always changing world of street fashion, the Los Angeles-based label, which was founded by artist and designer Josué Thomas, has established a distinctive character. Its unpolished look, hand-painted accents, and dedication to upcycling.

The History of Gallery Dept

Gallery Dept began as a little art endeavor in a studio in Los Angeles. Initially, Josué Thomas mixed vivid, graffiti-inspired art with vintage clothing to create unique pieces for himself and close associates. The brand's reach expanded along with interest, eventually developing into a full-fledged fashion company renowned for exclusive drops and limited runs.

Signature Style: Vintage and Avant-Garde

What distinguishes Gallery Dept shirt from other streetwear labels is its genuine mix of vintage style and artistic handiwork. Every item—from distressed denim to oversized graphic tees—is manually reworked, imbuing it with a one-of-one quality that can't be duplicated.

Custom Denim: Their flare jeans, usually hand-painted and distressed, are cult classics.

Graphic Tees & Gallery Dept Hoodie: Bright prints and paint-splatter patterns turn every item into a wearable canvas.

Upcycled Fashion: Sustainable chic—most items are created with reworked vintage clothing, minimizing waste and promoting mindful use.
