ABOUT THE ARTIST
Aidan Ulloa (b. 2005, Los Angeles, CA) is a former Los Angeles, now Atlanta-based artist and designer whose approach to creation and design revolves around turning trash into treasure. While Ulloa designs and creates items from new, they also opt for more sustainable means of creation, utilizing a variety of upcycling and repurposing techniques to turn materials that most would consider to be trash, into wearable pieces of art, aiming to reduce the amount of waste produced by the creative process and the fashion industry as a whole.
Ulloa has been a creative individual since childhood, but at the age of 13, they ventured into digital art and graphic design. In April 2020, they would later consider using these pre-established skills to make clothes, getting the idea to start a brand and begin making clothes. They started out spray-painting on t-shirts and other items at 16, but eventually found out how to get clothes printed through a friend online in 2022. Since then, Ulloa founded their brand Båraks Setulmen (2022), and has been designing and creating a multitude of clothing and accessories for Båraks Setulmen and Kasernbosättning (2022) under the aliases Dominic Asentamiento and primarily, Båraks “B. Set” Setulmen.
Since the brand’s founding in 2022, Ulloa has released two ready-to-wear collections under Båraks Setulmen, and the one person team has no intentions of stopping, as they hope to expand the public idea of what Black and brown fashion can look like and be. (8/5/24)
