Empire
Established in 1999, Empire burst onto the scene from the vibrant province of Quebec. Its initiation marked the beginning of a journey that would see it not only championing the skateboarding culture but also becoming a household name in Canadian fashion, expertly merging urban chic with the authentic grit of skateboarding.
Empire's apparel has a distinctive flair, capturing the zeitgeist of Quebec's urban life. Their designs are punctuated by bold graphics and typography, often inspired by the province's music festivals, art scenes, and of course, its skateboarding legacy. One notable element is the infusion of French-Canadian culture into their pieces; phrases in French subtly intertwined with design elements, paying homage to Quebec's linguistic heritage. Furthermore, their clothing materials speak of durability and comfort, crucial for those intense skateboarding sessions. Empire's dedication to sustainability shines through their choice of materials and production techniques, emphasizing eco-friendly processes and recycled fabrics.
A pivotal piece in Empire's collection is their crewneck sweatshirt that proudly displays an abstract representation of Quebec's skyline, interspersed with skateboard motifs and snippets of French lyrics. This sweatshirt, a blend of cultural pride and skateboarding enthusiasm, is fabricated with a mix of cotton and polyester, ensuring it withstands the test of time while keeping the wearer cozy.
