Brashy Studios

 

HHG: Legacy Ventures / Brashy Studios

“ Inspired by the past, but never stuck in it, stockholm-born brothers, Jacob Hägg and Axel Hägg, combine subculture aestethics with everything they find on the darkest corners of the web, creating retro-futuristic streetwear that’s both dissident and paranoid. It’s that marriage of pre-internet styles with a technology-based edge that makes brashy studios super 90’s. But distinctly now - oh, and really cool. “

Introduction

 

hhg: Legacy Ventures / Brashy Studios / Introduction

Emergent from Los Angeles, Brashy Studios transcends conventional fashion taxonomies—a luminous intervention at the intersection of cultural archaeology and posthuman aesthetics. Stockholm siblings Jacob and Axel Hägg orchestrate this convergence: not merely clothing but a topological mapping of the spaces between established disciplines, where authentic innovation crystallises.The studio functions as an algorithm of opposites—transforming overlooked frequencies into harmonics of style that ripple through perception. Their methodology distills retroactive futurism through contemporary metallic clarity, each collection a thesis on temporal collapse and expansion.

FOUNDING

shaping the brand

hhg: Legacy Ventures / Brashy Studios / Founding

From concept sketch to global phenomenon—Brashy Studios began with a vision to create streetwear that transcended conventional categories. Started in a small Los Angeles studio, we developed the initial brand DNA through careful material selection and an aesthetic that combined utilitarian elements with a raw, unfinished quality.our job encompassed every aspect of the brand's creation: designing the inaugural collection, establishing the minimalist visual identity, directing photoshoots, and building relationships with early stockists. The first collection featured innovative use of PVC and transparent materials—a signature that would define the brand.The deliberate choice to focus on women's streetwear—an underserved segment in 2011—proved pivotal. By addressing this gap with authentic design language, Brashy Studios established immediate credibility with fashion-forward consumers.

Global Recognition

Describe the title

hhg: Legacy Ventures / Brashy Studios / Global

By 2014, Brashy Studios had evolved from local phenomenon to globally recognized brand through strategic retail partnerships and distinctive visual identity. we orchestrated this expansion through careful selection of retail partners that aligned with our position between streetwear and avant-garde fashion.

 

Securing placement in Colette (Paris) and KITH (NYC) represented a breakthrough moment.

 

Jacob personally directed this strategy, building relationships with buyers and developing exclusive capsule collections that highlighted our innovative material approach while maintaining production feasibility.

 

The brand's imagery became increasingly distinctive during this period. He developed a visual language that combined clinical minimalism with unexpected styling—creating lookbooks and campaign imagery that communicated not just products but a complete aesthetic universe. This approach extended beyond clothing to packaging, retail displays, and digital presence.

Celebrity Breakthrough

2017 marked Brashy Studios' transition from industry insider favorite to cultural phenomenon through strategic celebrity integration. Rather than pursuing typical endorsement relationships, We developed an organic seeding strategy that emphasized authentic connection with artists and performers whose aesthetic aligned with the brand.

 

When Billie Eilish and Charli XCX began incorporating Brashy pieces into their performance wardrobes, it validated the brand's position at the intersection of music, art, and fashion. We leveraged these relationships through carefully composed editorial content that emphasized the creative resonance rather than mere celebrity placement.

 

This period saw the expansion of the brand's material vocabulary beyond transparent PVC to include technical fabrics and experimental textiles. We directed this evolution through close work with suppliers and manufacturers, maintaining the brand's distinctive visual language while expanding its creative territory.

By 2019, Brashy Studios had evolved beyond fashion label to become cultural signifier — a transformation we guided through deliberate brand extension and narrative development. The distinctive transparent materials and unfinished aesthetic had become recognised visual shorthand, referenced across fashion, music, and digital culture.During this period, we expanded the brand's territory through strategic collaborations with artists and cultural institutions.we also developed a comprehensive archive of the brand's visual evolution, documenting our material exploration and conceptual development. This archive served both as creative resource and validation of Brashy's cultural impact, establishing the brand as a significant voice in contemporary visual culture.
