Apparel Group and ALDO launch limited-edition Artist Series across the GCC

Apparel Group, a global leading lifestyle and retail conglomerate, has launched the ALDO Artist Series, an exclusive capsule collection available in select stores this month.

As one of Apparel Group’s flagship fashion footwear and accessories brands, ALDO continues to push boundaries by blending art and fashion in a limited-edition collection that celebrates global creativity.

The 16-piece collection is curated in collaboration with four visionary artists from around the world, each bringing a unique perspective to ALDO’s most iconic styles. From bold sneakers to structured handbags and expressive graphic tees, the collection invites customers to wear pieces that reflect both personal identity and cultural storytelling.

Pieces that spark conversation

Featured artists include New York’s Timothy Goodman, Mumbai’s Hyperthalamuscorp, Montreal’s Whatisadam and Dubai’s own Dina Sami. 

Known for his signature typographic style, Goodman’s work explores themes of love, vulnerability, and human connection; Hyperthalamuscorp is digital visual artist whose vibrant 3D art reflects personal growth and emotional resilience. A street artist blending Canadian references with comic-inspired visuals, Whatisadam explores themes of transformation and nostalgia. And Sami is a multidisciplinary artist inspired by her home city, celebrating heritage through symbols like the palm tree.

From sneakers featuring ALDO’s Pillow Walk comfort technology to standout statement bags and wearable art, each piece is a canvas that sparks conversation and creativity.

Fostering innovation and creativity

“At Apparel Group, we are passionate about fostering innovation and creativity across our brand portfolio,” says Neeraj Teckchandani, CEO of Apparel Group. “The ALDO Artist Series is a testament to our commitment to offering customers more than just fashion; it’s about bringing culture, art, and individuality into every retail experience.”

Daianara Grullon Amalfitano, ALDO Chief Brand and Product Officer, adds. “This collaboration celebrates global artistry and personal expression, which have always been at the core of what we do at ALDO. With a long-standing history of supporting the arts, we’re proud to continue that legacy by spotlighting diverse voices from around the world. Each design tells a unique story—rooted in culture, identity, and growth—and we’re excited to bring these powerful narratives to life through fashion.”

The ALDO Artist Series is available in select Aldo stores.
