Parra is a clothing company from Pieter ‘Parra’ Janssen, an artist, designer and pro skater from Amsterdam. Parra's design flare shone through during his early career and led him to become an art director and graphic designer for parties and venues in Amsterdam during the early ‘90s. The Dutch artist Piet Parra created his brand in 2001. In 2005, the streetwear brand made its mark with a first, now legendary, collaboration with the American giant Nike. The Dutch label offers a streetwear wardrobe with colourful patterns in the image of the artist's work.
