Cut, patch, rip

LA brand Gallery Dept. upcycle and rework Americana classics for Mr Porter
Fashion | 11 October 2023

Mr Porter has teamed up with LA brand Gallery Dept. on an exclusive limited-edition capsule. A 26-piece curated edit, the collection celebrates the artistry and vision of Gallery Dept. founder and CEO Josué Thomas.

Spotlighting the brand’s reconstructive ethos of repurposing and reimagining vintage garments, the capsule elevates Americana classics through modern craft and artisan techniques. Denim is embraced and reworked through hand-distress, embroidery and bleaching processes, alongside ‘Art That Kills’ slogan tees and hand-splattered paint detail, forming abstract patterns that nod to Thomas’ art background. Upcycled materials are patchworked into a denim jacket, camouflage painter trousers and a gilet, creating unique one-of-a-kind pieces that capture the distinctive storytelling intrinsic to Gallery Dept.’s design language. On the capsule, Thomas says, “The collaboration between Gallery Dept. and MR PORTER is the perfect intersection to solidify what modern luxury is today.”
