Defend Paris | Radical streetwear is more about justice and philanthropy

In early 2000, Defend Paris was founded by Jeremy Duoay, Arnaud Deprez and Sofiane Kihoul.


They have designed grenade-shaped candles to draw attention to the human rights of children, and donated all their income to the anti-child fighters.


In a primitive, radical, provocative manner, with a mission from the Paris underground stage was born.
By combining charity and streetwear, they hope to make a small difference in the world.

History Story 

When they saw Spike Lee wearing a "Defend Brooklyn" T-shirt on TV, the Defend Paris concept and motivation sprang up, inspiring the three of them to make a small difference in their own way and in their own power.


They held a reception to build up a sense of charity in people's minds.
Founders with a background in the street brand "Hype Means Nothing" have thought deeply about how to Defend their sense of justice with street clothing, and with even greater strength to build "Defend Paris" as a clothing brand.


Defend Paris inspires a new generation to Defend and Defend its beliefs with an aggressive attitude.

The defenders of Paris used the ak-47 Kalashnikov as a symbol of peace, expressing their passion and anger and displaying their most authentic humanity.


When the brand started, the three made a sweatshirt with the name of the ak-47 Kalashnikov on it.
But they didn't sell it, they just gave it away to whoever they thought fit.


The idea and marketing strategy became an instant sensation on social media, with people curious and fascinated by the sense of not having it.


"Who's the brand that's coming?

"Who puts compassion and kindness on their clothes?"


Defend Paris's "brand ambassador"

Despite the hype reaching unprecedented heights, the founders decided to continue their strategy of not selling their products but focusing on bringing in brand ambassadors (suitable for everyone who expresses their brand ideas).

Defend Paris's first brand ambassador was a friend of Arnaud's, Brahim Zaibat, a professional dancer who worked with Madonna.
Madonna then decided to take part in the project, helping the trio create and focus on "defending the rights of children".
