Modern pop culture has become so ingrained in our society with the advent of the internet. Gone are the days where critiques of mainstream culture are commonplace. It seems that there has been a voice that’s missing that calls out the traditional ways of our society with innovative and thought-provoking concepts that would never go out of style. Fortunately, Dan “Gritty” Walker is here to change all of that with his streetwear brand DONTGOHOLLYWOOD Studios.
Dan “Gritty” Walker is an up-and-coming streetwear designer, visual artist, and fashion influencer who is the co-owner of the trending streetwear brand DONTGOHOLLYWOOD Studios. Dan’s name transcends the streets of America through his grudge style mixed with conceptual interpretations of today’s society and culture.
DONTGOHOLLYWOOD took on the world last summer in the belly of the beast June 15 – 17, 2021. DGH set up a shop a few doors down from SUPREME streetwear, the juggernaut of street fashion that’s become a household name. DGH managed to spark some friendly competition with the renowned brand standing toe-to-toe with one of the biggest streetwear brands in the world.
It was DGH’s first solo pop-up, and the city came out to support the brand in a massive way. The brand received tons of support, including from Wavy’s World IG influencer, rapper Loyal Duce and the legend Ack Murda. Through their influence, the brand generated a lot of buzz and captured the attention of many individuals online and offline.
People who enjoy indulging in hip-hop and pop culture, streetwear, skating, underground norm-core fashion, and more will greatly enjoy the products that DGH has to offer. The brand is more than just an individual’s stylistic expression; it also embodies statements about society with regards to pop culture, hip-hop, and entertainment.
DGH is a next-level streetwear propaganda brand with high-resolution graphics that belong on a 4k screen printed right on a trendy garment. The brand features designs that indulge in edgy tabloid rumors meshed with thought-provoking undertones that give the brand multiple layers of perspective and ultimately establish it as an art form.
When asked about why they started the brand, co-owner Dan “Gritty” Walker said, ”We wanted to provide our generation with a feel of rebellion, challenging the status quo of fame and fortune. Having something to say with our artistry, it only felt fitting to put our ideas on streetwear for the youth. We are putting our collaborating ideals with art and calling it fashion.”
In the near future, the brand’s owners envision DGH to have its own brick and mortar featuring new upcoming designers with like-minded visions in fashion, art, and design. The team also hopes to collaborate with existing brands that share DGH’s visions and styles. It’s clear to see that DONTGOHOLLYWOOD is on its way to revolutionizing the world of streetwear fashion. There’s nowhere to go but up from here for the esteemed clothing brand, and it’s exciting to see where the years will take DGH.
