Art about fashion – the manifesto of Gallery Dept.
Gallery Dept. is more than a fashion label. It's a Atelier, an art project, a vision. Each piece is considered a creative canvas, often handcrafted, painted, distressed, or individually finished. Josué Thomas combines streetwear, altered vintage, and art into a mix that has achieved cult status worldwide.
The brand's philosophy:
-
Rework instead of mass production
-
Handcraft instead of perfectionism
-
Art instead of trends
-
Individuality instead of uniformity
Each piece is unique – deliberately raw, deliberately artistic, deliberately iconic.

-
Paint splatter and color accents
-
Distressed Denim

Handmade details that make each piece unique
