DROP STORIES
The Story Behind Sophisticated Apes
How our longest-running collection started as a series of canvas paintings and became an apparel line. The visual language, the collectors, and what comes next.
The Journal
NOTES FROM THE STUDIO
Drop stories, artist spotlights, Houston dispatches, and the occasional rant about what is wrong with streetwear right now. Editorial voice from an independent creative label.
The Journal launches soon.
We are putting together a collection of drop stories, artist notes, Houston scene dispatches, and behind-the-scenes pieces on how the apparel, the art, and the music connect. Here is what is on the way.
