Artful streetwear
What brands out there make good use of expressive patterning/graphics for their streetwear or skater-adjacent line? Price point would be akin to retail Supreme or Noah. Specifically I’m looking for something that has some painterly/abstract aesthetics on graphic tees, hoodies, camp collar shirts, intarsia knits, etc. Just scoping the options, not planning on purchasing anything just yet. @Smiles @s char go

Kid Super out of price range but falls into this. Parra & Braindead like Isaac said. Supreme/Noah/Stussy, maybe some Cav Empt. Basketcase Gallery all over the map so keep an eye on them. Pleasures maybe, though they use the cheapest blanks and I hate it. Wacko Maria has no resale value so look for that used.

Kid super
I don’t think kid super is that out of range, it’s like maybe 20% more?
Ya kid super is the closest match imo
His store is in Brooklyn too
I’m into the trilogy tapes rn
Ngl he as a person gives off insufferable frat bro vibes based on his insta and site copy, but his clothes are dope

More expensive/designer brands to look at/look for used include some ALD, Dries Van Noten, some Casablanca and Amiri (super super expensive), Kozaburo
Also if you know some artists you could always commission them to paint on a cheap pair of like Dickies or a shirt or something
