CDLP is scouring the art world for its latest collaboration.
The Swedish fashion label teamed up with Syrian-born conceptual artist Jwan Yosef for a limited-edition collection of elevated artists’ essentials. The collection takes inspiration from Joseph’s essential wardrobe while painting.
“I sat down with Design Director Ingrid Guthormsen at CDLP’s Stockholm studio and we created a few pieces that were true to me in my actual experience in my studio,” says Yosef. “These functional clothes are elevated and elevated in this design process. Taking something ordinary and making it extraordinary. Playing with the concept of using everyday studio objects strictly for production and highlighting them in these contexts.”
The limited edition capsule collection features a workwear-inspired cover in beige and two heavyweight t-shirts in bright orange and pale green hues. The covers retail for $650 and the t-shirts for $130 each. Only 50 units of the cover are available for purchase.

“I like to play with the idea of the ‘artist’, step outside of myself and think about what I can do with a garment. “I play with meta ideas in my practice and this was a fun way to branch out and think creatively – with CDLP – outside of my conceptual drawing space. In my work I work with raw linen canvas and in this particular cover we created that same linen-like fabric. Likewise, the colors and tones of the t-shirts reference my work and palette.
CDLP worked with Malmö Industries to create the collection. The manufacturer focuses on small-scale collections and employs artisans in local communities who are unable to pursue their craft in Sweden.
CDLP’s collaboration with Joseph will be available for purchase on the brand’s website starting Wednesday.
