Ellen Ma, the female Streetwear Art Director of Chicago.
On Thursday, July 18th, The Hundreds and Leaders 1354 joined forces to release a collaboration years in the making. The Hundreds, a legend in Los Angeles streetwear, and Leaders 1354, a pioneer in Chicago’s streetwear space, have both been fixtures in the culture for nearly two decades. Now, the two staples have worked together on a limited edition capsule collection that represents the storied legacy of each brand.
The central theme of the collaboration is the trailblazing nature of both these streetwear legends, with some of the shirts featuring the collaborative slogan “Firestarters Since 1980.” By staying true to the original vision and refusing to stray from the ideals that got us where we are today, The Hundreds and LDRS will continue to play a meaningful part in the streetwear story for generations to come.
