H&M teams up with Ev Bravado and Téla D’Amore to launch Jean-Michel Basquiat-inspired collection

H&M has collaborated with New York-based fashion designers Ev Bravado and Téla D’Amore to launch a collection celebrating the legacy of the iconic artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Available on their website and in select stores, the collection blends Basquiat’s iconic imagery with Bravado and D’Amore’s distinctive stained glass motifs and expressive designs.

Jean-Michel Basquiat, a transformative figure of the 20th century, evolved from a street artist to a renowned art icon.

“Ev and Téla have translated Basquiat’s iconic art through a contemporary lens, resulting in a collection that feels new, meaningful, and exciting. They also have a deep understanding and connection to Basquiat’s life, values, and art – and how it all resonates with today’s cultural climate. This collection follows their maximalist, ‘more is more’ designs, but the artistic approach really ties into Basquiat and makes the collaboration a standout,” said Ana Hernandez, menswear designer at H&M.

The 30-piece collection features a range of items, including tailored jackets, short-sleeve shirts, jeans, hoodies, T-shirts, a dress, a skirt, a corset top, and accessories. Highlights include a bomber jacket adorned with Basquiat’s vibrant artwork and embroidery of the designers’ arched window motif.
