ComplexCon 2026: Streetwear, music, and vintage in Los Angeles

Fujiwara’s Fragment Design collaborations stretched across Pokémon, Disney, the Los Angeles Dodgers, Ray-Ban, and BE@RBRICK. Among the most visually distinctive were black Pikachu and Mew plush keychains, which retained the characters’ recognizable shapes while removing their familiar colors. They offered a small, accessible example of how a designer can give an existing object a different identity without changing its basic form.

Vintage also received substantial space through ThriftCon’s marketplace, advertised at more than 100,000 square feet. Its themed sections covered collectible music and art T-shirts, early-2000s clothing, records, archival designer pieces, and upcycled garments. Alongside the new releases, this gave older objects and independent sellers a prominent place in the program. The scale demonstrated a serious commitment to vintage culture, although it does not, on its own, establish how quickly the vintage market is growing.

Food had its own place through the returning Family Style Food Festival, whose announced collaborations included Pizzeria Sei × Fragment Design. Across the program, the connections were often as interesting as the individual products: a designer working with a restaurant, a musician developing clothing, or a collector giving an old garment a new audience. That overlap makes ComplexCon a useful place to examine how brands become part of everyday culture.
