the forever dreamer: a prelude – tnsf inaugural capsule collection
one of the most beautiful qualities about nico stillman was his unwavering determination to do everything he could to help realize the dreams of those around him. you see, at his core, nico himself was the forever dreamer, and understood the power of positive reinforcement.
no matter the perceived limitations of one’s resources, he made it his mission to listen, internalize, and ultimately
put the pieces together to help take an idea that many may have found farfetched, and make it as grand, and as impactful as possible.
after the nico stillman foundation was founded in 2022, we made it our goal to honor nico’s legacy through all of the touch points he poured his soul into during the time we had the honor of sharing with him. as a group of friends who forged together through* this cause, we adopted the mantra “what would nico do” (wwnd) as we determined how to channel the inspiration from nico’s journey towards all those who need it.
nico’s aura particularly shined through in his love for expressing himself through apparel – he admired how his favorite brands built a world with storytelling at their core. having poured himself into brands that he started like never heard of you and super dope, we felt it only fitting to create a brand in nico’s honor.
the nico stillman foundation presents the forever dreamer: a prelude. with “wwnd” in mind, our team spent the last 2 years building out what we hope will be the foundation of many more collections to come. for this inaugural two-piece capsule, our design process helped reveal two key building blocks of a world that we will continue to add to and iterate upon with each drop.
the first is the orange character you see present on our very first t-shirt. indicative of nico’s never-ending curiosities, we are excited to introduce this character in a variety of settings, predicaments, and environments in our future drops.
the second is the blooming flower design on the crewneck, a motif we hope to serve as a reminder to always continue watering your seed for as long as you have the ability to.
we hope that your support in grabbing either of these pieces will allow you to embark on the journey with us as we build out nico’s world.
