what is gilded

gilded is a collective of artists on the (so far) west coast, small and local with different art style and experiences in different fields, we strive and aim to provide real art, no A.I slop shit, all of our project are made with love and respect, nothing less.

everything we created, we also would rock and we our goals is the same for you

gilded is a clothing brand that I started back in 2018, I was around 17 at the time, Honestly, I started it because
I was going through a high-school heartbreak at the time, typical shit right?,
I believe you at once had the same expieriece what I did,falling hard for someone,
finding another soul so fascinating, breaking and bending through changes,
and then boom, one day, the carpet was pulled out from under you
everything you worked for, all the emotions you felt, whoof, gone like the breeze...
and then life goes on right?,you some how surived that?, came out amazingly matter of fact
I now picked up my work since then , just to realized that same thing,
that i come out, fine, great at that
and i believe that all of us can and has to so, the ability has always been within us

to heal

gilded is to acknowlegde the pain that has surged cross our veins, the trauma that was dealt upon us, the hard ship that we've been through
and despite all that, we came out on top

so therefore, the need to be fully golden doesn't exist, we are just human,
vessels that carries the beautiful souls within us
we are deeply flawed
therefore
we are all. gilded
