What to know about Arte Antwerp
Knitwear carries the graphics
Bold patterned knits and jerseys are the signature, with printed shirting, jackets and tees built around the same graphic, high-colour approach.
Art-school references, not logo streetwear
Founder Bertony Da Silva pulls from art, architecture, music and photography, so streetwear silhouettes arrive with a minimalist and prep-leaning finish.
Independent, sold mostly direct
Still founder-run since 2015, the Antwerp label sells largely through its own site alongside stockists like END., BSTN and Footdistrict, at mid-to-high prices.
