Brooklyn Republic Apparel is a streetwear brand founded by Supreme Harper aka “Stash Madison” and Michael Charity aka “Mic Brass”, two creative entrepreneurs and designers whose work bridges fashion, music, and culture. With roots deeply connected to hip-hop and urban art, Harper built Brooklyn Republic as a platform to express the spirit, resilience, and cultural influence of Brooklyn, New York, and ultimately brought his childhood friend, Brass.
As the founder and driving creative force behind the brand, Harper brings years of experience working within hip-hop culture and creative media. His background includes collaborations and work connected to influential artists and organizations such as Wu-Tang Clan, along with involvement in projects tied to legendary figures like J Dilla and Masta Ace. These experiences helped shape the brand’s aesthetic—blending classic hip-hop influence with contemporary streetwear design.
Under Brass’s leadership and guidance, Brooklyn Republic Apparel focuses on more than fashion. The brand represents storytelling through clothing—drawing inspiration from the borough’s diverse neighborhoods, its history in music and art, and the everyday creativity found in urban communities. Each collection reflects themes of identity, independence, and cultural pride.
Today, Brooklyn Republic Apparel continues to grow as a creative brand that connects streetwear with music, art, and community culture—staying true to its mission of representing the voice, style, and legacy of pure hip-hop.
