Bespoke Streetwear: How a Custom RICHOUTHEBOX Commission Works
Share
Off-the-rack fashion asks you to fit into it. Bespoke asks what you want to say. At RICHOUTHEBOX, our bespoke line — Avant-Good — is where we design one-of-one garments around a single person: their story, their occasion, their body. Here's how a custom streetwear commission works.
Who commissions a bespoke piece?
Artists preparing for a performance or a cover shoot. Stylists who need something no one else will be wearing. Couples dressing for a wedding or an event that deserves more than a rental. Collectors who simply want a piece that exists nowhere else. If you've ever looked at a runway look and wished it had been made for you, this is that.
The process
- Inquiry. Tell us about the occasion, timeline, budget and the feeling you want to create through our commission inquiry form.
- Conversation. We talk through references, colors and meaning. Many of our pieces carry a story — a number, a word, a memory — and yours can too.
- Concept. We return with a design direction: silhouette, materials and techniques such as hand-dyeing, screen-printing, spray-painting and upcycled denim appliqué.
- Measurements and fittings. We take your measurements and schedule fittings where needed.
- Construction. The piece is built by hand, step by step, in our New York studio.
- Delivery. Your garment arrives finished, one of one, and never remade.
How long does it take?
Timelines depend on complexity and season. As a rule, the earlier you reach out, the more freedom we have — especially before events, fashion week and the holidays.
Why bespoke streetwear?
Traditional bespoke tailoring is about perfect fit. Bespoke streetwear adds self-expression: the color, texture and attitude that make a garment yours. It sits at the intersection of craft and culture — the same intersection where RICHOUTHEBOX was born.
Not ready for a full commission?
Start with a piece that's already one of one. Every look in our NYFW SS27 collection and archive was made once. Or explore limited, numbered editions of the GOODIE BAG — we also create custom GOODIE BAG colorways on request.
