AWAKEN ART

Wearable art.

Art first, then art for living spaces, then clothing: home decor and premium velour sets made from the same licensed artworks.

Wear the art. Be the story.

Where it began

Art came first.

  1. 01

    AWAKEN ART STORE

    For two years I ran AWAKEN ART STORE: I built a global network of artists, signed licensing contracts and sold their work through print-on-demand.

  2. 02

    Art for living spaces

    The same artworks moved into the home: art curtains, tapestries and canvas wall art.

  3. 03

    AWAKEN ART CLOTHING

    Then the clothing brand: premium velour sets and hats that carry the artists’ work in linings, bands and prints.

Home decor

Art for living spaces.

The same licensed artworks, made for the home: art curtains and tapestries, and canvas wall art.

Art by our licensed artists, curated and produced by AWAKEN ART.

AWAKEN ART CLOTHING · The story

It started
with a theft.

My favourite piece of clothing was stolen. So I set out to make an incredible one, and to put art into it.

So the art of our licensed artists moved onto premium velour: linings, bands and finishings no one else has.

AWAKEN ART CLOTHING · Details

Art on the inside.

  • Art-print linings: artwork from licensed artists inside hoods, cuffs and plackets
  • Gold panther-head patch: the AWAKEN ART signature
  • Hidden pocket: built into the tracksuits
  • Art bands: on hats, matching the linings

Quality over quantity.

AWAKEN ART CLOTHING · Hats

Art on the band.

Wide-brim hats in vegan suede, with art-print bands, inner liner and interchangeable bands and feathers.
