UPRISING

Urban Apparel Brand

Arising from a self-initiated vision, the brand sought widespread appeal through the lens of counterculture. Inspired by contemporary art and the spirit of 1984, it fused cultural themes with deeper, thought-provoking visuals. Through hustle, trial, and error, the brand developed a unique identity that left a lasting impact.

About
Building a Brand

Proving the power of the DIY entrepreneurial spirit, the brand began by selling apparel locally, one piece at a time. From there, it took off into conventions, boutique stores, and online platforms, fueled by passion. What started as a small venture evolved into a conversation starter, driven by the hands-on hustle that shaped its unique identity.
