Brigade’s Spring/Summer 2025 Collection: A Fusion of NYC Cool and Global Inspiration
Get ready, fashion lovers – Brigade’s highly anticipated Spring/Summer 2025 drop has finally arrived. Based in the heart of New York City, this brand is known for its edgy and culturally-influenced designs. But this time, they’re taking things to the next level by drawing inspiration from founder Aaron Maldonado’s travels in Japan over the past decade.
Founded by both Aaron and Sarah Maldonado, Brigade proudly embraces its Puerto Rican and Dominican roots in their latest collection. The Young Lords polo shirt pays homage to Puerto Rican marches of the past, while the Lares button-up shirt features the first flag of Puerto Rico screenprinted in the center. And for a touch of rebellion, the brand’s camo graphic tee boldly declares “There is a war going on outside.”
In a recent interview with Hypebeast Community Center, Maldonado shared that “making NYC proud is priority #1” for Brigade. And even with the diverse range of style influences in this collection, that sentiment still shines through. From trompe l’oeil Jesus chain detailing to Chinatown-inspired dragon motifs and logos, this collection is a true fusion of NYC cool and global inspiration.
