Collaboration and Licensing

Central to our brand proposition is collaboration with artists and artisans, propelling the garments into different heights and exposing both brand and its clients with diverse savoir-faire and points of view. COMMON HOURS collaborates with renowned photographers, fine artists, literary artists, visual artists and musicians on the creation of pieces for every collection.

The brand’s thematic message revolves around the curation of words, messages, lyrics, poetry and images of personal significance. To expand on the brand’s storytelling, COMMON HOURS has secured artwork licenses from artists and musicians, imbuing its pieces with layers of meaning. Lyrics and artworks feature in the garments; finding beauty in words, art, music and the unexpected.
