Merging fashion with art is Founder of the urban T-shirt brand Tribe All, Angela Thouless. As part of Fashion Crossover London’s series of exclusive interviews with our most promising designers, we have had the opportunity to pick the brain of the Scottish designer voted Top Emerging Designer of the Year 2019 and Diverse Company of the year 2020 at the International Runway Achievers & Recognition Awards. Angela proves there is no age limit when it comes to fashion and celebrates inclusivity with her tribal-inspired T-shirts that merges her love for art with fashion.

That’s why Fashion Crossover is the perfect platform for me and my designs, from selling my collection through your online store to having my pieces in your London showroom, everything has been great and I’m excited to see what we can achieve together. The aim of Tribe All is to spread a message that speaks to all tribes - regardless of age, gender, size and cultures; celebrating and promoting the diverse tribal cultures of the world. Tribe All represents a sense of togetherness. That’s why I started drawing inspiration from all corners of the world. During my research, I discovered that a lot of people felt they could only get T-shirts in generalized sizes, in line with our values, Tribe All offers up to 4XL. I want Tribe All to be a refreshing mix that looks towards the reality of multiculturalism that every country faces today.
Originally, I was going to call it Tribal, but I wanted the message of togetherness to really come to the forefront, therefore, Tribe All, as in we are all one! This message is reflected in the logo, the spear references both the tribal symbolism and inspiration, yet takes the shape of a paintbrush, alluding to my artistic background. Lastly, Tribe All is also a play on my initials, AT, but in reverse. The logo ties both myself, my inspiration as well as my mission together.
"The spear references both the tribal symbolism and inspiration, yet takes the shape of a paintbrush, alluding to my artistic background."
In November Tribe All will be featured at the National Social Media Awards in London, and for the future, I would love for Tribe All to become a globally recognised brand, spreading the message of inclusivity through culturally inspired art in the form of T-shirts and other styles of clothing!
