The Story of 1988: Where Fashion Meets Empowerment

Welcome to 1988, where every thread, every stitch, and every design represents more than just fashion—it symbolizes a powerful movement. Founded by two lifelong friends who bonded over a shared passion for empowering women, 1988 is a tribute to a turning point in history: the Women's Business Ownership Act of 1988. This landmark act wasn’t just a policy change; it was a groundbreaking leap that opened doors for women to own their futures, control their finances, and pursue their dreams without barriers.

At 1988, we believe that progress is worth celebrating—and there’s still much work to be done. We’re here to spark conversations about equality and continue advocating for the kind of future that act set in motion. Our premium T-shirts and sweatshirts are more than wardrobe staples; they’re symbols of resilience, ambition, and community. Each piece is designed in the U.S. with careful attention to detail, ensuring that our collections are both fashionable and purposeful.

When you wear 1988, you’re wearing a reminder of how far we’ve come—and an emblem of how much further we can go. Our brand is about bridging the past with the future, honoring the women who paved the way, and standing alongside those still pushing for change. This isn’t just a clothing line; it’s a statement.

1988 isn’t just a brand; it’s a hub for connection, education, and action. We proudly partner with organizations that champion women in business, and we’re dedicated to providing resources that help build stronger, more equitable futures. A portion of every sale goes directly to initiatives supporting women’s empowerment, so with every purchase, you’re contributing to a cause greater than fashion.

Our message is simple but profound: She owns her story. Join us, wear your purpose, and celebrate the power of women everywhere. Because together, we’re not just making strides; we’re making history.
