Brain Dead

The LA-based creative collective opened its NYC store in May 2025, bringing its mix of streetwear, art, and subculture programming to Elizabeth Street. Guests are welcomed by a large hippo sculpture that doubles as storage and display space, and the interior design blends eclectic, urban touches throughout. Collections draw from underground comics, skate culture, and punk, alongside collaborations and a small apothecary section. Brain Dead's LA flagship on Fairfax functions as a cinema, community hub, and art space as much as a store. And the NYC location carries that same ethos east.
