Collection: ACiD Collection

Acid House emerged from Chicago in the mid-80s and exploded in the UK during the Second Summer of Love, 1988-89. The sound was built around the Roland TB-303 bassline synthesiser. The fashion was baggy, bold, and anti-establishment — oversized tees, smiley faces, MA-1 bombers, and bright colours.

Classic Acid House rave wear included oversized graphic tees with smiley face prints, MA-1 flight jackets, bucket hats, and baggy trousers. Comfort was key — ravers danced for hours in sweaty warehouses and fields across the UK.

The smiley face became the defining symbol of Acid House after Danny Rampling used it at his legendary Shoom club night in London in 1988. It represented euphoria, unity, and the spirit of the movement — and it's still the most recognised icon in rave culture today.

Our ACiD collection features original artwork from Junior Tomlin, RT Rebecca, Pez, and Jamcee — artists who were part of the original UK rave scene and whose work defined the visual identity of Acid House.

Yes. All Qravers ACiD collection pieces are designed and printed in London, keeping the spirit of the original UK rave scene alive in every garment.
