Gallery Dept, the Los Angeles label that turned hand-reworked vintage clothing into a global phenomenon, arrives in Gangnam with a pop-up through May 10. Founded by artist Josue Thomas, Gallery Dept emerged from LAs creative underground — cutting jeans, screen-printing tees, and repurposing thrift finds into one-of-a-kind art pieces. Today worn by celebrities worldwide, the brand has collaborated with Lanvin, Vans, and the LA Rams. This Gangnam popup brings deconstructed silhouettes, paint-splattered denim, bold graphics, and Seoul-exclusive pieces to one of Koreas most prestigious fashion districts. The space channels LA studio vibes with an art-gallery-meets-workshop atmosphere.
