How Gen Z Is Monetizing Custom Streetwear with Empulse

Custom Streetwear isn’t just a vibe anymore

It’s a business model. And Gen Z? They’re rewriting the rules.

With the rise of print-on-demand and platforms like Empulse, creatives don’t need a warehouse, funding, or even a sewing machine to start a streetwear label. They need an idea, a design, and a link. That’s it.

This new generation of digital natives is building fashion lines from bedrooms, art studios, and uni campuses — selling custom streetwear hoodies, tees and tops, and caps & hats with zero upfront cost and full creative freedom.

Let’s break down how print-on-demand platforms are flipping the game — and how you can get your cut.

Why Print-On-Demand Is Exploding in 2025

Print-on-demand (POD) used to be the side hustle nobody took seriously. Now? It’s a $10B+ industry powering TikTok shops, Instagram drops, and the rise of the independent fashion entrepreneur. Custom Streetwear is now more accessible then ever.

Here’s why Gen Z is obsessed with Custom Streetwear POD:

• No Inventory Risk: You don’t buy stock. You just upload the design.

• Global Reach: Customers from LA to Melbourne can buy your hoodie.

• Sustainability Wins: No overproduction. No waste. It’s made-to-order.

• Freedom to Create: No gatekeepers. No approval. Just vibes and vision.

Platforms like Empulse give creators a seamless way to design, launch, and sell without ever touching a box. You focus on the art — we handle the rest.
