Deva States

Deva States is a streetwear label from Jakarta, Indonesia, started in 2015 by two owners. Its graphics are surrealist and scrapbook-esque, and they have brought the label to the attention of streetwear enthusiasts around the world.

The thinking behind it comes from the Japanese philosophy of Wabi Sabi, which is about accepting and embracing the transience of perfection. It is a gentle idea to build a label around, and it sits comfortably alongside artwork that pulls surreal images together in a collage-like way.

If you like streetwear where the graphics do the talking, Deva States is a name to look up. Firmament in Berlin stocks it and ships worldwide.
