State of Art

What started in 1936 as a small knitting factory for baby clothes by Albert Westerman Sr. in Lichtenvoorde has evolved into State of Art, a vibrant men’s fashion brand celebrated for its craftsmanship and timeless designs. Since 1987, under the guidance of Albert Westerman Jr., this family-owned business has dedicated itself to creating clothing that embodies quality, style, and a contemporary twist. With a passion for classic design, State of Art merges traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics for discerning gentlemen.

The growth of State of Art parallels its commitment to sustainability and innovation. Today, the brand proudly operates its own monobrand stores and an e-commerce platform, continuously expanding its reach into international markets including Germany, Ireland, and Scandinavia. Each collection, driven by both automotive inspiration—particularly the founder's love for classic Porsches—and the modern trends in menswear, reflects a meticulous approach to fashion. State of Art not only prioritizes high-quality materials but also focuses on the environmental impact of its production processes, ensuring a smaller ecological footprint. This dedication to ethical fashion aims to enhance the lives of everyone involved in its supply chain, proving that style and responsibility can go hand in hand.
