Hakken Hardcore: The Story of a Passion Turned into a Brand
My story began in the '90s, when, still a teenager, I was drawn to hardcore music, a genre that was just emerging and immediately captured my attention. At that time, hardcore was more than just music: it was a true culture that was gaining ground in Europe, a culture of resistance, energy, and rebellion. It was love at first listen, a passion that stayed with me since my youth and profoundly influenced my life.
As I grew older, this passion never faded; in fact, it grew stronger in my heart. When I started my professional journey in the fashion world, I decided to combine this great love for hardcore with the work I loved doing. And that’s how Hakken Hardcore was born—a brand that is not just a label, but a declaration of belonging to a music and cultural scene that had given me so much.
Creating Hakken Hardcore was not just a business decision, but an authentic expression of what I felt inside. The brand became my way of celebrating the music I loved, its values, and its energy. Every piece of clothing, every accessory created by Hakken Hardcore is a tribute to gabber culture, to that passion that has accompanied me since I was a kid and that I can now share with all the fans of this scene across Europe.
Today, looking back, I can see how that passion has transformed into a reference brand in the hardcore clothing world. Hakken Hardcore is the result of a journey I’ve built with dedication, loyal to the culture that shaped me and that still continues to grow, fueled by that same passion that made me fall in love with hardcore many years ago.
