Named semi-finalists for the 2024 LVMH Prize and finalists for the 2023 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, Ev Bravado, and Téla D’Amore are known for their carefully crafted pieces, expert garment distressing, and upcycled denim. With the H&M collaboration, we are so happy to see them continue to blur the line between fashion, art, and culture, further amplifying the legacy of Jean-Michel Basquiat through placement prints, embroidery, and embroidered patches of his artworks on their signature silhouettes. Basquiat is one of the most important artists of the 20th century. Inspired by his journey from street artist to renowned art figure, Bravado and D’Amore believe Basquiat’s legacy is a daily reminder that there are no limits to what they can achieve.

Available now, this 30-piece collection includes tailoring, jackets, short-sleeve shirts, jeans, hoodies, t-shirts, a dress, a skirt, corset tops, plus accessories. There’s a bomber jacket adorned with the vibrant artwork Ass Killer, 1984 and embroidery of the designers’ arched window, a black blazer with Basquiat’s scribbles about jazz greats Charlie Parker and Miles Davis (Discography 1, 1984), and luxe black leather trousers referencing the artworks Untitled (Ideal), 1988 and Untitled (World Famous), 1983. Other standouts are the unisex distressed denim jacket and matching jeans with Basquiat’s art enshrined in the recurring window design.
