The Black owned headwear company is partnering with Paramount to launch a collection of multi-generational and nostalgic releases beginning this June.
MIAMI - AussieJournal -- Dungeon Forward, a storytelling and innovative headwear brand from designer David Castro, has inked a three-year agreement with Nickelodeon and Paramount Consumer Products to produce a series of headwear collections featuring limited-edition pieces inspired by Nickelodeon's iconic animated series. The first collection, inspired by SpongeBob SquarePants, will debut at retail this spring.
Nickelodeon and Dungeon Forward first initiated their collaboration in late 2020, when they began ideating about how to bring these classic series to life in a unique way in the headwear category. They are now readying for their first collection release, launching in June, entitled "The Bikini Bottom Capsule," featuring an assortment of headwear inspired by SpongeBob SquarePants. Future collections will feature other classic Nickelodeon brands including Hey Arnold! and The Ren & Stimpy Show. Dungeon Forward is also working with Paramount Consumer Products to launch an adjacent children's brand featuring styles inspired by Nickelodeon's roster of beloved preschool properties.
"As a child, I had to go to my friends' homes to catch a glimpse of Nickelodeon. To be working with them directly is a full circle moment and I jumped at the chance to create a collection that captures my own childhood memories and nostalgia for the brand," said David Castro, President and Design Director for Dungeon Forward and CEO of Complex Apparel, LLC.

"David's passion for his craft and love for Nickelodeon have been inspiring to watch come to life," said Joann Acevedo, Senior Vice President, Soft Lines Licensing for Paramount Consumer Products. "This partnership embraces culture, authenticity, and nostalgia and we are thrilled with how it helps bring our brands to new audiences in an innovative and creative way."
Castro is the founder and CEO of Complex Apparel LLC, a conglomerate focused on translating authentic street culture into elevated products. Castro serves as the President & Design Director of the brand Dungeon Forward. His leading philosophy as he continues to build out the brand focuses on cultural authenticity, creativity unbound by common rules, and a resonance of intrinsic meaning that will always result in the creation of classic products. Dungeon Forward aspires to move the world through design by creating thought provoking crowns that do just that. The brand has previously secured licenses with over 30 collegiate institutions, fraternal organizations, contemporary artists, and similar brand projects like the recent collaborative launch with Airheads Candy. As an alumnus of a widely known HBCU, Florida A&M University, and an advocate for the uplift of marginalized communities, Castro hopes partnerships of this kind will inspire fellow designers to push the threshold of the impossible.".
