Forbes Apparel: Where Art Meets Street
Forbes Projects proudly announces the launch of Forbes Apparel, a dynamic new fashion line that fuses art, activism, and contemporary streetwear. Renowned for his thought provoking sculptural and conceptual works, Forbes extends his gallery practice into the realm of wearable art, challenging perceptions and redefining cultural expression.
The debut collection, comprising elevated hoodies, long-sleeve sweatshirts, and long-sleeve Tees, transforms the street into a living gallery. Each garment embodies Forbes’ conviction that “everything is sculpture,” positioning the body as both canvas and conversation.
Rooted in Forbes’ signature black and pink palette, the collection explores the interplay between blackness and whiteness, central to his ongoing investigation of racialised politics and power structures. The result is a series that balances aesthetic impact with critical depth, merging bold design with everyday wearability.
“Fashion is one of the most accessible forms of self-expression,” says Forbes. “With Forbes Apparel, I want wearers to carry meaning, visibly, confidently, and with a notion of beauty.”
Launched online, bridges the worlds of art and street culture, engaging a generation that values both style and substance. The result is apparel that makes a bold statement while offering exceptional value.
A graduate of the Royal College of Art, Forbes has exhibited internationally, including at the Saatchi Gallery and the Venice Biennale’s Diaspora Pavilion. His work is represented in private and the UK Government Art Collection and continues to influence dialogues at the intersection of art, politics, and fashion.
