ARTE ANTWERP

Arte Antwerp is a menswear label from Antwerp with a streetwear soul. It began in 2009, when graphic design and illustration student Bertony Da Silva made his first capsule collection. He had noticed that other cities had streetwear labels speaking for their own subcultures, and Antwerp didn't. He used his graphic skills for the first T-shirts and travelled around Portugal to find textile producers through word of mouth.

The clothes lean minimalist, with straight, clean cuts and interesting textures or seam details. Large prints often carry Da Silva's graphic background. Architecture, interior design, photography, music and underground culture all feed in. Expect jackets, hoodies, jeans, shirts, sweaters, corduroy, co-ords and accessories, plus a footwear collaboration with adidas.
