Korean-American designer Yoon Ahn and artist Verbal founded AMBUSH as an experimental jewelry brand in 2008. In 2015, the brand expanded their line from jewelry to high fashion streetwear. Taking influence from living in Tokyo, the designers incorporated elements of pop art and Japanese minimalism into their designs. Since AMBUSH's arrival into the fashion industry, it has done collaborations with other high profile fashion labels ranging from Off-White to Nike.
