The phrase ‘Third World’ is understood today to characterize underdeveloped and poverty-stricken countries. It is often used pejoratively in our society.  However, the term was initially used to describe a bloc of developing nations seeking independence from the dominant superpowers of the Cold War, nations that deviated from the Western capitalist bloc and the Eastern communist counterpart. It was not intended to identify these nations in a derogatory way but instead as a developing, powerful, and brewing ‘Third Force’. Our brand aims to reclaim the original spirit of this translation as a symbol of strength and autonomy. Providing the agency to shape our own destinies. 

Our stylish and dynamic wardrobe options convey the beauty and strength inherent in the resilience and independence present across the globe. Beyond our pieces, Third World is dedicated to creating platforms that uplift, empower, and transform the lives of artists, creatives, and individuals who resonate with our mission.
