We are fascinated by the stories behind great works of art.

Each painting and sculpture wasn't just a beautiful object but a window into the past, a way to understand the world and the people who lived in it.

Art history became our passion, not just because of the art itself, but because of the incredible stories and lessons it held about humanity, culture, and society.

Whilst studying in the world’s #1 design school, we couldn't help but notice a troubling trend: funding for the arts was being cut across the board. Museums struggled to stay open, art programs in schools were slashed, and public appreciation for the arts seemed to be waning. It was heart breaking to see something so vital to our understanding of the world being pushed to the side lines.

What if we could merge the past with the present, using fashion and lifestyle to keep the legacy of art history alive?

That's how Art History Student Brand was born. We envisioned a lifestyle brand that not only featured modern renditions of classical art but also included educational snippets about the pieces and their significance. Each design would be a small act of rebellion against the erosion of arts funding, a portable museum exhibit that people could wear or carry and learn from daily.

We scour archives to digitally render classic art. Our designs feature a contemporary twist to classic paintings, we included a brief history of the painting and its impact on Renaissance culture.

The idea was to spark curiosity and conversation, to remind people that art history is not just about the past but is deeply relevant to today’s society. It reflects our shared human experience and teaches us about the beauty and complexity of our world.

The response so far has been incredible. People loved the idea of having a piece of art history with them, and appreciated the educational aspect that came with it. Art enthusiasts enjoyed the modern take on classic masterpieces.

We're not just providing a style; we're making a statement. We're saying that art matters, that history matters, and that understanding where we came from can help us navigate where we're going. In a time when arts funding is in jeopardy, we're finding new ways to keep the spirit of art alive and accessible to everyone.

Art History Student Brand is more than just a business. It's a mission to preserve and promote the rich tapestry of human creativity and to ensure that the lessons of the past are never forgotten. By integrating art into everyday objects, we’re fostering a deeper appreciation for the arts and reminding people of their importance in our lives.

So, when you choose to wear or carry us, you're not just choosing a piece of art; you're choosing to support a future where art history continues to educate, inspire, and enrich our lives.

Become an Art History Student and fight to keep the arts alive and thriving, one beautiful style at a time.
