Von Dutch

Early 2000s brand

Von Dutch is a fashion brand known for trucker hats and casual apparel, named after Kenneth Howard, an American pinstripe artist who went by "Von Dutch." The brand became a status symbol in early 2000s celebrity culture, with its logo-emblazoned caps ubiquitous on tabloid covers.

The name now evokes that era's flashy, brand-obsessed aesthetic: very Von Dutch era Paris Hilton.
