Brigade’s “Me vs. The Ave” Fall/Winter 2025 Embodies True NYC Aura

by

Following their popular collaboration on the Off-White™ staff t-shirt, Brigade is now showcasing its diverse and global style with its new Fall/Winter 2025 collection.

Brigade, a New York City streetwear brand, draws its inspiration from the real-life experiences of its founders, Aaron and Sarah Maldonado, and the energy of the city itself. Aaron’s upbringing as the child of Dominican and Puerto Rican parents deeply influences the brand’s designs, reflecting the city’s diverse cultural landscape. Their Fall/Winter 2025 collection, titled “Me vs. The Ave,” continues this tradition, offering timeless pieces that Sarah Gaudio Maldonado describes as “clothing for a lifetime.”

I absolutely love how Brigade tells a story with their new lookbook! It’s styled by Antonello Gonzales and beautifully shot and directed by Maldonado. It follows these two New York siblings who are playfully trying to one-up each other with their outfits before hitting the town – you can just picture them walking down a classic New York City avenue!

We genuinely believe in the power of community, and our supporters are everything to us,” said Aaron Maldonado. “We see our customers as an extension of our own team. That’s why we use their feedback to constantly improve and create collections that reflect the communities we’re a part of and the people who support our growth.

With their new collection, Brigade is growing its range of clothing to include more expertly crafted, cut-and-sew items and innovative 3D knitwear. They’re also refining popular designs from previous seasons, like the Jesus Piece Money Clip and Polo, for Spring/Summer 2025.

The standout items are a Bandera Cowichan Knit and a Bandera Skull Cap, both featuring 12 flags. Maldonado explained, “We always showcase New York, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico, and we wanted to extend that same recognition to areas where our customers live.”

Check out the full collection of 14 items from Brigade’s first Fall/Winter 2025 release in the lookbook. You can buy everything on the brand’s website this Friday, September 26th, starting at 12 p.m. EST.
