Champion Unveils “No Permission” Collection at Brooklyn Museum: A Celebration of Streetwear Creativity

The Brooklyn Museum was abuzz with creativity and nostalgia as Champion unveiled its “No Permission” Collection as part of their “Champion What Moves You” global brand campaign. The one-day-only exhibit celebrated Champion’s influential role in streetwear fashion and its commitment to fostering the next generation of creators.

The exhibit showcased the original works of iconic brands like Supreme, Pyrex Vision by Virgil Abloh, Kith, BAPE, and Stussy, who famously used Champion’s garments without seeking permission, contributing to the brand’s legendary status in the streetwear world.

In addition to honoring the past, the exhibit also featured designs by emerging creators who embody the no-permission ethos, inspiring attendees to pursue their creative visions without constraints.

Guests at the event had the opportunity to customize their own Champion blanks on-site, embracing the spirit of DIY fashion that the brand has long supported. The interactive experience allowed attendees to connect with the brand’s history while contributing to its future.

Pieces from the exhibit will be available in limited quantities through social media-driven giveaways later this month, giving fans a chance to own a piece of streetwear history.

The event was praised by Scott “DJ Skee” Keeney, founder of The Realest, who highlighted Champion’s embrace of the no-permission culture as a way to honor the brand’s past while encouraging a future where creativity knows no bounds.

Overall, the “No Permission” Collection was more than just an exhibit; it was a movement that celebrated Champion’s influential past while paving the way for future innovators. Attendees left the Brooklyn Museum with a renewed sense of creativity and connection to Champion’s enduring legacy.
