Arca

Arca — Alejandra Ghersi, Venezuelan-born, London and Barcelona-based — operates at the most demanding intersection of avant-garde electronic music and pop production: collaborations with Björk, FKA twigs and Kanye West running alongside solo work on XL Recordings that treats the human body, identity and machine noise as equally valid compositional materials. From Xen and Mutant through the self-titled Arca and the KiCk series, the catalogue is the document of what happens when electronic music abandons the separation between the experimental and the visceral. This collection builds apparel from that visual and sonic rigour: oversized t-shirts, hoodies and pieces for people who followed the trajectory from the early GHS mixtapes forward.

Designed for club nights, art spaces and everyday wear, our Arca hoodies and oversized t-shirts combine heavyweight comfort with the avant-garde electronic streetwear design language the project demands. Each piece is cut in relaxed unisex fits with premium cotton construction — drawing from the body-conscious, metallic and extreme visual language of the XL Recordings artwork for the Arca catalogue: forms that exist between organic and mechanical, the aesthetic of a production process that treats the human voice and synthesised noise as the same material.

Arca Hoodie & Oversized T-Shirts — Inspired by XL Recordings, Björk Collaborations & the KiCk Series

The Arca live set — performed in extreme heels, in states of physical and emotional exposure that most electronic performers never approach — is the extension of the recorded work into physical space: the KiCk series performed at the Barbican and international venues documented a project that refuses the separation between music and body. Xen, the 2014 XL Recordings debut, established the framework: glitched rhythm, exposed synthesis, a visual identity created with Jesse Kanda that became a reference point for the entire experimental electronic visual culture of the decade. Our Arca hoodies reference that physical and conceptual precision: heavyweight cotton, oversized silhouettes, minimal graphics drawn from the XL sleeve tradition.

Our Arca t-shirts and electronic streetwear pieces are built for people who want premium apparel that carries the full cultural weight of the avant-garde electronic tradition — from the early collaborations with FKA twigs and Kanye West's Yeezus production through the solo catalogue that established Ghersi as one of the most significant electronic artists of the decade. Whether you're buying an Arca hoodie for the season or an Arca t-shirt for daily wear, every piece ships in premium cotton with relaxed unisex construction.

Xen Merch & Arca Apparel — XL Recordings & Avant-Garde Electronic Scene

Xen — the 2014 XL Recordings debut — named after a non-binary alter ego and built around some of the most physically intense electronic music produced in that decade, established Arca's position in the avant-garde electronic scene as definitively as any record could. Mutant, the 2015 follow-up, deepened the approach. Both define the collection through minimalist design, premium cotton blanks and relaxed fits rooted in the avant-garde electronic scene that XL Recordings and the Björk collaborations brought to global attention.
