Streetwear and youth culture brands

This directory lists 140 streetwear and youth culture brands. The United States has the most, followed by the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan and France. The segment grew out of skateboarding, hip-hop and club culture and includes graphic T-shirts, hoodies, sneakers-led collections and limited releases, often built around collaborations and drops.

Most streetwear brands sell through wholesale to selected boutiques and concept stores, while almost all run their own e-commerce, which is central to limited drops. A smaller share operate their own stores. Examples include Supreme, Stüssy, Palace, Kith, Aimé Leon Dore, A Bathing Ape, Fear of God, Corteiz, Obey and Kangol. New York, Los Angeles, London and Tokyo are widely regarded as the key cities of streetwear culture.
