BAD APPLE STUDIO

bad apple studio is streetwear clothing brand that involves shedding light on controversial topics—such as trauma, mental health, abuse, the LGBTQIA+ community, feminism & more. through imagery and fashion, iz intends to question these social issues, while breaking their stereotypes and promoting the normalization of their conversation. the brand often combines dark humor, existential questions, and the use of contradictions, like cynical yet hopeful messaging, in order to evoke frank discussions about the reality of the world we live in.
the brand currently releases monthly collections, releasing a series of clothing that each speak to unique and powerful topics. the intent of each collection is to bring people together by promoting love, equality, & self-reflection, while simultaneously empowering people to be themselves. bad apple studio continues to design with a purpose—with the hope that its messages may help others to cope with their own experiences, too.
bad apple studio also produces one-of-a-kind apparel and custom clothing orders that combine illustrations, bold prints, and streetwear fashion.
