The ‘YOUTH’ collection is a celebration of underground culture, featuring collaborations with renowned tattoo and graffiti artists.
TTSWTRS has unveiled its latest collection, “YOUTH,” for Spring/Summer 2025, a vibrant representation of underground culture that encapsulates the dynamic essence of nightlife and youthful exuberance. The collection, described as a visceral celebration of unrestrained freedom, utilizes a monochromatic color palette to reflect the cinematic homage to urban rites of passage, drawing inspiration from the raw energy of street life in iconic cities such as London and New York.
The “YOUTH” collection features an array of remarkable prints developed in collaboration with several renowned figures within the tattoo and graffiti realms. Among the contributing artists is Longboy, a Brighton-based tattooist recognized for his grunge-inspired designs shaped by influences from the ’80s and ’90s street culture. Also featured is Massimo Miai, an Italian tattoo artist whose intricate representations of angels and Greek mythology channel the grandeur of classical art. Mills, an Irish artist based in London, brings bold designs that embody urban grit to the forefront.
Additionally, TTSWTRS incorporates the talents of Sporadic, a Swiss tattooist known for blending creativity with a personal and understated aesthetic; Sandy Kupfer, an LA-based artist whose bold, cartoonish street art illustrates classic British punk influences; and Arthur Muzo from Kyiv, whose fine line work and fusion of styles have distinguished him in the contemporary tattooing landscape.
A prominent highlight within the collection is the Guérilla series, which takes inspiration from the secretive and often clandestine nature of street art. The series features predominantly black garments accentuated by strategic splashes of white paint, serving as a tribute to the graffiti artists who operate under the cover of darkness. One of the collection’s standout prints, titled “Nothing Criminal,” is cleverly integrated into various garments, notably appearing on the pockets of trousers in a manner that plays on the irony of being inspected.
The design also cleverly adds a hidden pocket to enhance the rebellious spirit embodied within the series, which is also reflected in a baseball cap featuring similar thematic elements.
Complementing the collection is the NightLife series, which showcases animalistic prints inspired by footage of nocturnal wildlife. These designs feature prowling wild cats and zebras, their haunting, luminescent eyes evoking the primal allure of nightlife. This series explores the raw and uninhibited energy of the club scene, blurring the lines between instinct and experience.
TTSWTRS continues to navigate the intersections of art and fashion, consistently delivering collections that challenge conventional norms while prioritizing wearability. The “YOUTH” collection stands as a testament to the brand’s dedication to authenticity and collaborative creativity, now available for purchase at ttswtrs.com since March 1.
