A Streetwear Brand’s Tribute to David Bowie
Midnight Art Department’s new collection is a gender neutral line celebrating David Bowie.
Midnight Art Department, a high-end punk rock-inspired fashion label, is working in collaboration with the David Bowie estate to bring to life a line of inclusive streetwear featuring classic Bowie iconography in a wearable celebration of the late music legend’s contribution to fashion, music, and rock culture. The young brand designed and operated by founder Shane Gonzalez aligns its own laid-back, punk rock sensibility with that of the gender-fluid personal style of the late rockstar. The collection is intended to be a visual timeline of Bowie’s career. Although the brand Midnight Art Department leans heavily towards menswear, the new David Bowie collaboration is inclusive and can be worn by all.
Standout pieces include a mohair sweater with a large vintage Bowie black and white photo printed on it and the Stardust Balaclava. Other products include the brand’s staple, denim, along with T-shirts, sweatshirts, and tank tops all featuring Ziggy Stardust imagery. The collection has limited its color palette to the brand’s staple black and white but has incorporated a few bright pieces in crimson for a pop of color. Recent brand collaborations from Midnight Art Department include collections made with Modelo, Motorhead, and Batman. The pieces in the new Bowie collection range from $65-$300. The collection became available on September 30th exclusively on the brand’s website along with the label’s other collections. The nostalgic pieces are the perfect addition to Bowie-lovers wardrobes, especially for those who want something a bit more unique than the standard Bowie T-shirt.
