In support of the Tokyo exhibition of photographer Jonathan Mannion, Stussy and Lafayette have gotten together on a series of collaborative t-shirts. The photo print tees feature big Hip Hop icons, including Rakim, the Notorious BIG, 50 Cent, Jay-Z and Slick Rick, and will be released on September 17th, 2011.

Director Kellen Dengler recently attended a photoshoot by DJ Clark Kent for Japanese brand Lafayette. Here above you find his behind-the-scenes look of the shoot!

Japanese brand/retailer Lafayette is celebrating its 5th anniversary with a strong series of collaborations. They partnered up with J.Money, Sneaktip, Teamworks, DJ Clark Kent, Acapulco Gold, Deadline, Frank 151, Craft, La Carrera, Ally & Dia and Chatty Chatty. With each one of the brands they made t-shirts and in some cases also New Era caps and skate decks. 
We already presented you the La Carrera collaboration yesterday, all the rest today, after the jump.

Japanese retailer Lafayette and bike enthusiasts La Carrera engage in a dangerous game of chicken. A samurai and a aztec warrior zip towards each other. Print nicely wraps from back of the tee around the sides. Between the shoulder blades a duel logo follows the cross cultural connections. The t-shirt is part of Lafayette’s 5 year anniversary.

Sneaktip got together with Lafayette to collaborate on a New Era Cap. The cap comes in black with gold embroideries. It features both brand logos on the front. In the back it features an embroidery of the Brooklyn Bridge and the slogan “Way Out In Brooklyn”. The cap will only be released in very limited quantities outside of Japan and the exclusive online retailer for this collaboration will be Karmaloop. Expect the cap to be released some time in November.
