AKSFAB is a Chicago and Boston based brand founded in 2022 by Cole Ackerman.
Born from a desire to experiment with personal style beyond conventional fashion boundaries, AKSFAB transforms secondhand garments and salvaged fabrics into 1 of 1 wearable art.
The brand has grown from a personal creative outlet into a collective, co-creating with artists, organizations, and other brands to push connection and community.
We believe your style isn't just what you wear—it's how you show up in the world.
Through reworking discarded fabrics, we integrate sustainable energy into your clothes, creating one-of-a-kind pieces, empowering you to rewrite a garment's story in your own style.
Cole's interest in fashion emerged while moving from Hong Kong to Boston, where he saw an uninspired style at school as an opportunity for creative expression.
What began as upcycling and commissioning clothes for friends slowly evolved into the brand it is today. Collaboration, learning, and teaching now shape both his personal and artistic practice.
