FOUNDED
in west hollywood, CA. 2026.
Vertigo Collective is a queer owned clothing brand and creative collective founded by Los Angeles–based interdisciplinary artist Lily Kurtz. Born from a belief that clothing can be more than fashion, Vertigo exists at the intersection of art, community, and recovery.
Every collection is designed by Lily himself, with over 80% of the graphics featuring his original photography, transformed into wearable artwork inspired by punk, gothic, alternative culture. Each garment reflects his artistic practice—blending documentary photography, design, and storytelling into pieces that challenge convention while celebrating individuality.
But Vertigo Collective is about more than clothing.
100% of profits are dedicated to a larger mission: building a sober living home for artists in recovery.
Recovery shouldn't mean giving up your creativity, and being an artist shouldn't mean sacrificing your stability. Our vision is to create a home where artists can heal, make work, build community, and pursue their creative lives alongside one another in a supportive, substance-free environment.
Every purchase helps fund that vision.
By supporting Vertigo Collective, you're not just buying clothing—you're investing in artists, queer community, and a future where creativity and recovery can thrive together.
Thank you for helping us build something bigger than a brand.
