Authentic streetwear begins in the community: A lot changed for graphic designer Bertony Da Silva in 2009 when he looked at the high fashion scene in his home base of Antwerp from a different perspective. The reason: On his travels through fashion cities such as London, Paris and Amsterdam, he became aware of local streetwear labels that represent the subcultures of the respective city in the form of T-shirts , pants and caps - something that is common in Belgium There was no time yet.
With a lot of creative drive behind him, Da Silva set out to bring streetwear to Antwerp. Because if you don't have icons at home, you have to become one yourself. Using his graphic design skills, he created his first T-shirts and toured across Portugal until he found suitable textile producers for his vision via word-of-mouth - the beginning of Arte Antwerp. The first collection of Arte Antwerp shirts went to friends and acquaintances, but Da Silva now operates over 200 stores worldwide. If that isn't a fire success story!
