Madfrenzy has built a cult following with designs that feel equal parts experimental and satirical. The brand’s signature spikes, seen on hoodies and in a limited-edition collab with Pleasures, carry a sense of dark humor that feels both ironic and aggressive. While plenty of labels chase an aesthetic, Madfrenzy goes deeper by developing and innovating materials that are unique to its world.

New York-based Bane Industries takes accessories to a whole new level. The brand’s stainless-steel watches come stacked with spikes that wrap around the dial, turning a simple wristwatch into something that’s as decorative as it is functional. That same attitude carries into the Venom sunglasses that are built with thick frames and often mirrored lenses that extend the brand’s punk-inspired design language.

Colorado’s Puppet Theater is about nostalgia and community. Named after a local puppet theater that shut down during Denver’s wave of gentrification, the brand carries that memory forward through non-gendered collections called “Acts.” Each drop leans into casual staples that feel broken in from the start. The pieces are understated but intentional.
