H&M is no stranger to brand collaborations having worked with the likes of Rabanne, Rokh and Moschino, just to name a few. The fast-fashion giant added Who Decides War to its collaboration résumé via an ode to Jean-Michel Basquiat.
As Paris Fashion Week Spring 2025 Menswear is well underway, the Swedish company partnered with Basquiat's estate and the streetwear brand's Ev Bravado and Téla D'Amore on a collection directly inspired by lesser known pieces of Basquiat's timeless work. "Immediately it was, 'Yes,' because to work with Basquiat's archive has always been a dream of ours, especially coming from similar backgrounds," said Bravado of receiving the offer in December 2022. "When we received that call, it was one of those truly surreal moments where we were like, maybe this might mean something bigger at some point," added D'Amore. "It really was a true personification of that entire thought."
