Founded by Japanese designer Yuta Hosokawa of READYMADE and Los Angeles-based artist Cali Thornhill DeWitt, Saint Michael Clothing was fast becoming a street label of rawness. Bringing its major share of cult following is a peculiar piece with full-on distressed-details and religiously-themed artsy in-your-face expression -Fatherhood of Saint Michael Clothing. This fusion unites Japanese fine-working techniques with the spin American countercultural face that contemporary clothes bear heavy narratives. Further attesting, the Saint Michael Hoodie-birthed into a pair of artworks for modern rebellion and spirituality.
The Zoology of Saint Michael Clothing
The Saint Michael brand was created as a joint collaboration between Yuta Hosokawa, the maker of upcycled READYMADE military garments, and Cali Thornhill DeWitt, a multimedia artist who has done work for and with Kanye West and carries his own sort of subversive Americana. The brand was nurtured since 2020 to immediately gain cult status for its one-of-a kind mix of distressed visuals, religious iconography, and outright punk attitude.
The name Saint Michael is taken from the archangel Michael, the celestial warrior and protector in Christian theology. Drawing upon heavily pondered iconography, the brand marries stark visual language with heavy copy to transform clothing into wearable art. Saint Michael is much more than just a clothing brand: it comments on belief, chaos, and redemption in the present-day world.
What makes the Saint Michael Hoodie so desirable?
In a nutshell, the hoodie represents the brand identity. The orthodox luxury streetwear completes polishing and branding; this Saint Michael hoodie, instead, celebrates imperfection, texture, and meaning.
Each hoodie:
Distressed and aged for a vintage feelhundred variations of frayed hems, faded prints, and soaked-out colors.
