PROJECTS

BLANK CANVAS PROJECT

GANT partners with Ken Nwadiogbu, in collaboration with Hypebeast to reimagine the varsity jacket, transforming the quintessential symbol of American Sportswear into wearable works of art.

Ken embarks on the project through the lens of exploring his heritage. Fusing elements from his roots in Nigeria with styles of his newly coined artistic movement “Contemporealism,” he lands on an aesthetic that responds to royalty in Africa – using experimental color theory to actualize this depiction.
