The next collaborator of Altamont for Holiday 2009 is 10.Deep founder and creative director Scott Sasso. The outcome is a small capsule collection, consisting of a hoodie, shirt, t-shirts, cap and a scarf. The collection fuses the Altamont style with details that we learned to appreciate in the 10.Deep collection.
Taking cues from the namesake Altamont tragedy of 1969, Scott invokes the event and the era through motifs like a raceway checkerboard pattern, a bloody arm, psychedelic imagery and a reference to the infamous event security, or lack thereof. All these elements are incorporated with Scott’s signature 10.Deep attention to detailing and unique patterns to create a completely modern brand mash-up.

Bill Owens’ first book, Suburbia, published in 1973, was an instant success and later gained recognition as one the most influential photography books of the twentieth century. Bill’s peculiar knack for finding the unexpected strangeness, beauty and humor within the mundane would become a huge influence on following generations of artists. Evidenced of Bill’s inspiration can be found in the work of filmmakers such as Paul Thomas Anderson, Sofia Coppola and Wes Anderson.
Despite earning a Guggenheim fellowship and two NEA Grants, photography wasn’t paying the bills, so Bill followed his other passions, ultimately becoming a pioneer in the American home brewing movement. These days, Bill is making digital movies and has a few more books up his sleeve. He is a father, a brewer, a gardener, and founder of the American Brewing Institute. For 17 years he published American Brewer Magazine.
In 1969, while working as a photojournalist for a local newspaper, Bill was on hand to document the concert at Altamont Speedway that would come to symbolize a turning point in youth culture. The Bill Owens for Altamont collection is comprised of some of those photos and consists of t-shirts, hoodies and a cap.

Boogie started photographing rebellion and unrest in his hometown of Belgrade, Serbia in the early 1990s. In an unlikely twist of fate, he won a lottery visa to the United States. With just a camera and no money in his pocket, Boogie quickly found his new home in the ghettos of New York City. The images depicted in the Boogie for Altamont collection are photos he took for his first book, It’s All Good, which documents the lives of gang members and drug addicts around his home in Brooklyn / Bed-Stuy.
The Boogie For Altamont Collection consists of t-shirts, hoodies and a canvas tote bag. Check it out in detail after the jump.

The artists featured in this exclusive series for Altamont were chosen by No Age and given a loose theme based around the progressive power of healing. Remember kids, as Nietzsche famously said “That which doesn’t kill you, only makes you radder.”
Artists participating in this series include Matthew Thurber, Sam McPheeters and Hisham Baroocha. Each one of the artists created a t-shirt for the series and the outcome is rather impressive.

A true original, Mark Foster (FOS to everyone except his mum), is the founder of U.K. brand Heroin Skateboards, which refers to his insane addiction to skateboarding. He has germinated into one of London’s finest exponents of low-fidelity illustration and stab-you-in-the-eye marketing. FOS created this Death & Glory collection with inspiration of Urban Death Metal from Brazil and Japan wrapped up with the Death or Glory involved with skateboarding. Available now for the Altamont Holiday 2008 season.
The Altamont x Mark “FOS” Foster “Death or Glory” collection consists of a college jacket, t-shirt, hoodie and mesh cap.

For the Holiday 2008 season, Altamont has aligned with Mike Jones and Mikhail Bortnik for an eerie collaboration of t-shirts based on the panic and shock of horror pictures and the merciless existence of street thugs.
Applying his sh*t-kicking Midwest upbringing to the no-nonsense approach of the east coast, Brooklyn based artist Mike Jones has subtly infiltrated the apparel world with his bold graphic style. His clients include Mishka NYC, Mighty Healthy, Reason, Beautiful Decay, SHQ, Mad Decent, Kid Robot and now Altamont. Mike’s graphic work embodies a diverse array of styles and draws on his fondness for crass humor, T & A, loud music and cartoon mutants. Currently, he can be found drawing pictures, drinking beer and keeping it trill.
Mikhail was born in 1978 in the former Soviet Union Republic of the Ukraine. At the age of one, his family left their country of birth for Brooklyn, New York. Due to limited resources and permission, he had to be smuggled out of the U.S.S.R. in a suitcase. Mikhail has done art and design work for Marvel Comics, advertising and children’s book publishing before founding Mishka NYC in 2003. He is currently the co-owner and creative director at Mishka and still lives in Brooklyn.
Mikhail found Mike Jones in the back hills of the Midwest in 2005. Since then, Mike has collaborated with Mikhail on the creative side of Mishka NYC.
With Altamont the two designers worked on a series of three t-shirts, that will be coming out in the following weeks.
