THE GALLERY DEPT. BRAND FAQ


What is Gallery Dept. and who founded it?

Gallery Dept. is a unisex clothing brand which specializes in reinterpretations of vintage clothing through alterations. Josué Thomas founded the brand in 2017 to fuse his passions for vintage clothing and art. Thomas was influenced heavily by his parents, both artists. His father, Stefan Gilbert, also operated a womenswear label for a brief period of time. Thomas has said in past interviews that his penchant for vintage clothes grew out of his admiration for the unique quality of the aged items in his parents’ closets. Before he operated his own brand, Thomas worked for Ralph Lauren. He began making one a kind reconstructed vintage pieces, and in 2016, he sold a altered poncho off of his back to Johnny Depp’s stylist. By the following year, Gallery Dept. was officially underway.
