Founded in 2012 by Brian Whatever, a former art teacher with a background in screen printing, Whatever 21 emerged from the underground club and DIY art scenes of Brooklyn. The brand explores a subversive intersection of utilitarian streetwear, nostalgic mall goth, and futuristic ravewear. With a strong cult following among queer and alternative communities, Whatever 21 is celebrated for its tongue-in-cheek approach to dystopian themes, blending highbrow concepts with accessible, street-ready designs.
