Trapstar was unlike most fashion brands because it did not take shape in the board room; it was more of a representation of London’s younger youth and their interests in street culture and music. The very name of the label is oxymoronic, as ‘Trapstar’ describes a combination of success and difficulty: a ‘trap’ is a hard life in the streets, while a ‘star’ is brightness, ambition, and success.
