About
Novem began in 2004, when a group of Chicago graffiti writers joined forces, purchased a screen-printing press, and formed a design collective. Over the years, Novem has consistently dropped new releases of original design apparel, all in limited quantities. The Novem Store opened its doors in October of 2008, serving as the collective’s flagship retail space and art gallery.
Originally launched in 2006, Novem Life was created to document that culture. Recently, novemlife.com has re-launched with a new design and additional content, featuring the many talented friends within Novem’s growing network of artists. Upcoming events, galleries, and new releases of music and gear will all be featured here. And while the blog and features can change often, the vision remains the same: Do What You Do.
