GUAVE is an experimental design platform by independent designer Gabriel Giordano, serves as an alter ego for collaborative projects with designers and collectives. Still in its early stages, the brand is experimenting with sustainable modes of production, focusing on upcycling and modular design to create adaptable, resourceful pieces.

Gabriel Giordano is an independent designer specializing in footwear and wearables. His work explores the value of objects through history and craft, merging traditional techniques with contemporary, sci-fi-inspired aesthetics. Drawing from diverse subcultures, art, and media, Gabriel uses fashion as a tool for self-expression and body transformation, aiming to create cultural connections. His methodology emphasizes hands-on experimentation, found materials, and collaboration. With GUAVE, he aims to explore how fashion can tell stories, foster collaboration, and transform how we think about clothing and wearables.

Starting as part of the Klokpack6ix collective, GUAVE continues to evolve as a space for testing ideas, and a resource for small musical artists in need of merchandise production. Elevating events and building connections between fashion and culture.

This Website will serve as a web shop and a platform to showcase all the brands products and all of Gabriel’s projects.
