Trapstar is a London-based streetwear brand that emerged from the underground UK fashion and music scenes in the early 2000s. Founded by friends Mike, Lee, and Will, the brand started with custom T-shirts sold out of car trunks and quickly gained a cult following. Its name, a fusion of “trap” and “superstar,” reflects the gritty ambition and rebellious spirit of UK street culture. As grime and UK rap gained mainstream attention, Trapstar rode the wave, becoming the go-to label for artists who wanted to merge music with fashion.
