About
MIDNIGHT STUDIOS IS AN AMERICAN-BASED FASHION LABEL FOUNDED BY DESIGNER SHANE GONZALES IN 2014 AT THE AGE OF 19. GONZALES, WHO WAS BORN AND RAISED IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, HAS ALWAYS BEEN DRAWN TO THE PUNK AND YOUTH STREET STYLES OF PAST DECADES AND SUBCULTURES BEFORE HIM.
THE BRAND'S SIGNATURE STYLE CODE COMBINES ALL OF THESE ELEMENTS IN AN ANTI-AESTHETIC MANNER THAT CHALLENGES TRADITIONAL FASHION STANDARDS, PORTRAYED BY IT’S BOLD DESIGN AND SUBVERSIVE MESSAGING.
MIDNIGHT HAS BECOME A NOTABLE FORCE IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY, DUE TO GONZALES’ VISION AND WILLINGNESS TO PUSH BOUNDARIES. THE BRAND CONTINUES TO EVOLVE WITH EACH COLLECTION, CEMENTING ITS POSITION IN CONTEMPORARY FASHION COLLABORATING WITH THE LIKES OF OFF-WHITE C/O VIRGIL ABLOH, CONVERSE, DIESEL, VANS, NEEDLES, GUESS JEANS, THE ROLLING STONES, A$AP ROCKY, AS WELL AS SEVERAL FEATURES IN PUBLICATIONS SUCH AS VOGUE, GQ, ESQUIRE, WWD, FORBES AND MORE.
BEYOND FASHION, SHANE HAS ALSO DELVED INTO THE REALMS OF ART, MUSIC AND PHOTOGRAPHY, SHOWCASING HIS MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO CREATIVITY. GONZALES WAS FEATURED ON THE ‘2023 FORBES 30 UNDER 30 ART + STYLE’ LIST IN ADDITION TO THE 2022 HYPEBEAST 100 LIST OF THE WORLD’S MOST INFLUENTIAL CREATIVES.
