At New York Fashion Week, ARTTITUDE staged a presentation that felt as much like an exhibition as a runway. With a dual collection debut that paired visceral emotion with artistic collaboration, the independent street fashion brand underscored its mission to make art wearable, collectible, and culturally resonant.

The showcase introduced two distinct lines, each carrying its own narrative yet united under ARTTITUDE’s ethos of wearable luxury.

The IED Collection drew directly from the volatility of Intermittent Explosive Disorder, channeling impulsivity into stark contrasts and architectural silhouettes. The black-and-white palette heightened the tension, with sharply cut garments reflecting the turbulence of inner conflict. The result was a striking visual exploration of emotion transposed into form.

In counterpoint, the Cova Collection radiated with saturated color and painterly energy. Developed in collaboration with contemporary artist Cova (@cova____), the line translated his central question—“Who are we, really?”—into garments that blurred the boundary between canvas and cloth. Each piece was as much a declaration of identity as it was an article of clothing, with bold hues and expressive shapes pushing the runway into the realm of performance art.

Every piece in both collections was produced in strictly limited runs of no more than 300 editions, crafted from Supima cotton. Numbered like works of art, the garments reinforced ARTTITUDE’s model of Weara(rt)ble Luxury, positioning fashion not as a seasonal commodity but as collectible culture.

As Co-Founder Sylvain Castet put it:

The brand further bridged the gap between spectacle and accessibility by offering select see-now-buy-now styles directly online at arttitude.us. This immediate availability underscored ARTTITUDE’s mission to place art at the center of culture—not confined to museums but lived and worn every day.

Founded by Sylvain and Amrita Castet, ARTTITUDE is a California-based luxury fashion house that merges fine art with high design. Known for its pioneering Weara(rt)ble Luxury concept, the brand champions artists and craftsmanship through limited-edition garments that are equal parts fashion and collectible. By challenging where art belongs—on the runway, in the street, or on the body—ARTTITUDE continues to redefine the parameters of both fashion and culture.
