Every piece starts as a blank canvas. No prints, no shortcuts — just acrylic paint, brushes and hours at the desk. These are the originals behind every Aurén Monét hoodie.
— Carl Vant
Carl Vant — Midnight Paris
Acrylic on canvas
A woman in a black tulle dress and sunglasses sits beneath a bunch of balloons, a pink vintage car behind her and the Eiffel Tower rising through a collage of hearts and Chanel No 5. Paris the way it feels at midnight.
Carl Vant — New York City
Acrylic on canvas
Yellow taxis on a rain-slick street, the Empire State Building lit up above a grey skyline. The only real colour in the city is the traffic.
Carl Vant — The CEO
Acrylic on canvas
Sunglasses, a red tie and a camcorder held up to the face. The first painting Carl made for Aurén Monét — and the one that gave the brand its name.
Every other canvas Carl has finished so far: portraits, cars, the sea and the mountains.
Every hoodie in the collection carries one of these paintings, pressed onto fabric in a limited run.
