It was in 2017 that the artist and designer Josué Thomas decided to create the
clothing brand Gallery Dept.
Born from a lifelong love for clothing, Josué draws inspiration from artistic creativity, streetwear culture and his passion for vintage fashion. The brand strives to transform its clothing into something new and its goal is to create attractive products without sacrificing quality or artistic integrity.

Gallery Dept. is both a vintage and streetwear brand, it links the old to
the novelty. Many influential personalities in this field have
moreover highlighted the brand like Kendrick Lamar, Migos or even
Kendal Jenner.

notable extent, in particular thanks to his collaborations, but Josué was disappointed
ultimately from the fashion world. The artist does not intend to stop art for
as much: "Because each case is unique and deserves a unique solution, I have
chose to continue my practice as an artist and to retire from the music industry.

While waiting for the total shutdown of the brand, the collections continue to arrive and you can find these unique pieces in our shop or on our online site.
