There are collections you design — and there are collections you live through.
The Win With Me Collection came from pressure, ambition, doubt, and the decision to keep moving anyway.
Let’s meet the pieces.
The No Risk Zip-Hoodie
The No Risk Zip-Hoodie was one of the first pieces I designed for this collection.
I wanted it to feel heavy, oversized, and effortless — something you throw on without thinking but still instantly carries presence.
The front graphic combines layered typography with the blue star artwork, creating a visual that feels loud without becoming chaotic. The ash grey body keeps it grounded while the cobalt blue introduces a completely new energy for Ancient Studios.
At 460gsm, this is also one of the heaviest hoodies we’ve released so far. Structured, premium, and built to age properly over time.
The Real Story Baby Tee
The Real Story Baby Tee brought a different balance into the collection.
I didn’t want every piece to feel oversized or aggressive. This one feels more effortless, more playful, but still connected to the mindset behind the drop.
The cropped raglan silhouette combined with the white and cobalt blue color blocking instantly gave me early 2000s sportswear references, but refined through the Ancient Studios lens.
The small chest print keeps it understated. Because sometimes confidence doesn’t need to scream.
The Boxy Win T-Shirt
This is probably the loudest piece in the collection emotionally.
“WIN WITH ME OR WATCH ME” became the core statement of the entire drop because it reflects a mentality I’ve experienced personally while building Ancient Studios.
Some people support your vision. Some people doubt it until it works.
The oversized back print was designed to feel direct and unapologetic, while the clean front branding keeps the balance minimal from the front.
Printed on a heavyweight boxy silhouette, the piece feels structured but relaxed at the same time.
The Win Tank Top
The Win Tank Top strips the collection down to its rawest form.
No sleeves. No distractions. Just the message.
I wanted this piece to feel confident, especially for summer — something that works equally well styled casually or layered into stronger looks. The oversized sleeveless fit gives it movement while the black base keeps the graphic feeling sharp and aggressive.
The typography almost feels confrontational on purpose. Because ambition usually makes people uncomfortable before it makes sense to them.
The Baggy Sweat Shorts
The Baggy Sweat Shorts were designed to become an everyday piece inside the collection.
The fit was extremely important to me here. I wanted them to feel wide, relaxed, and effortless without losing structure. The longer oversized silhouette creates that heavy streetwear shape we always look for at Ancient Studios.
The ash grey tone pairs naturally with every piece in the drop, while the subtle back pocket print keeps the branding understated.
Sometimes the strongest pieces are the quietest ones.
The Boxy No Risk T-Shirt
The Boxy No Risk T-Shirt represents the new direction of color inside Ancient Studios.
We’ve always worked heavily with monochrome palettes, washed greys, blacks, and muted tones — so introducing this vibrant cobalt blue felt unfamiliar at first. But that was exactly the point.
Growth should feel uncomfortable sometimes.
The front artwork combines layered branding, star graphics, and distorted typography into something that feels energetic but still controlled. Together with the seam details and oversized silhouette, the piece carries a more experimental side of the brand while staying wearable.
