Art and fashion have always shared a captivating relationship—a dynamic intersection where bold visions come alive in fresh, wearable ways. In a creative hub like Amsterdam, the lines between painting, street art, and streetwear continue to blur, elevating the everyday wardrobe into a moving gallery. At BY RISQUÉ, we’re proud to embrace this synergy—from canvas to catwalk—and showcase how art can transform into cutting-edge urban style.
Amsterdam: A Cultural Catalyst
Strolling through Amsterdam, you’ll find an endless array of inspiration—from world-class museums and vibrant graffiti scenes to indie art galleries and bustling local markets. This multicultural environment breeds innovation, making it a hotbed for collaborations between painters, fashion designers, and beyond. The city’s energy fuels BY RISQUÉ’s collections, infusing each piece with that authentic, forward-thinking spirit.
Why Merge Canvas and Catwalk?
-
Boundless Inspiration
Painters interpret the world in unique ways—through color palettes, brushstrokes, and textures. Translating that vision onto clothing invites fresh ideas into the world of streetwear. -
Pushing Boundaries
When an artist and a fashion label join forces, they challenge each other to experiment. The result? Striking patterns, unusual cuts, and vibrant prints you won’t find anywhere else. -
Storytelling on the Move
Instead of confining art to a gallery, wearable pieces give it new life—every outfit becomes a personal statement, sparking conversations wherever you go.
From the Studio to the Streets
Step 1: Conceptualization
It starts with an original artwork—be it a painting, digital collage, or sketched design. Our team collaborates closely with the artist to determine how best to adapt it for fabric, colorways, and printing techniques.
Step 2: Experimentation
We test multiple fabric swatches and color profiles, ensuring each piece retains the integrity of the original art. Whether it’s a vivid painting or a minimalist sketch, every detail matters.
Step 3: Production & Debut
Once the prototypes are finalized, they enter full-scale production. We then showcase them through exclusive drops, pop-ups, or online launches—turning the runway (or city street) into an art exhibition.

The Amsterdam Streetwear Edge
Amsterdam’s street culture is more than just hoodies and sneakers; it’s a canvas of self-expression. Street art decorates the city’s alleys, while underground collectives hold immersive art events. This raw, unfiltered creativity is woven into our brand—visible in edgy silhouettes, experimental logos, and subtle artistic details.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Art in Fashion
We’re only scratching the surface of what’s possible when art and fashion collide. As more painters, illustrators, and digital artists team up with clothing labels, we’ll see an explosion of limited-edition pieces and runway shows that feel like curated galleries. The boundary between “fine art” and “wearable art” will only continue to blur.
