KIDVEAN: Breaking Down Streetwear's Gates, One Thread at a Time

In an industry packed to the brim with smoke and mirrors and maxed out lines of credit, KIDVEAN's origin story reads like that of a punk band from the 70s. Picture this: a teenage kid in his bedroom, armed with an unshakeable vision and a $200 stimulus check. Printing tees one at a time out of his parents' house with a crappy heat press that worked 50% of the time and some Gildan 2000s from blanktshirts.com.au (shoutout Linda fr). No trust fund, no industry connects, no nothing - just that DIY spirit we all know and love.

A lot has changed since then, the products are incomparably better (thank f***), we have marketing budgets, employees and the list goes on. But the spirit never changed. And it never will.

"The streetwear industry has become everything it was built to rebel against," says Guchy, (that kid from the bedroom). "We are here to bring it back to the roots."

While other brands chase trends, KIDVEAN's DNA is encoded with Australia's underground scene. This isn't just another streetwear label. Now, I know you heard that one before... but actions speak louder than words, so let me just show you.

Breaking Down the Gates

In an industry obsessed with exclusivity, KIDVEAN is tearing down walls to shine light on the artists, musicians, and creatives who push the culture forward.

"Gatekeeping has become some sort of toxic badge of honour, like 'ahh, I miss when people didn't know this artist'..." Guchy explains. "We're doing the opposite, we're throwing 'em wide open."

This commitment to accessibility manifests in the two platforms we have built from the ground up:

THE COCOON

A digital gallery where we research, collate and document everything happening in underground culture. From art movements to streetwear trends, to the latest all Australian artist poised for a breakout, we bring you the full scoop. Professionally researched, written and referenced. We are talking proper journalism, not some mumbo jumbo spat out by the latest intelligence software.

This is our way to put you onto the game that's been catching our eye.

THE COCOON

THE WEB

This is KIDVEAN's answer to the industries closed doors policy. It's a digital space where artists, musicians and creatives, like you can gather and share your most recent work. Think MySpace, built for creatives, by creatives. A place to network with like-minded people. 

This is your community, we just facilitate it.

THE WEB

Radical Transparency: More Than Just Talk

But if you made it this far, it's safe to say this is probably your kind of thing. Dive into THE COCOON for fresh underground insights or join THE WEB and get connected.

Selling our gear is currently the only way we monetise this movement.
