UNDRCRWN is releasing their latest collaborative project with Mos Def. The “Cut & Sew” collection blends a collegiate athletic aesthetic with Mos’ person style. Consisting of jackets and fitted caps, the release features monochromatic materials with pops of colorful details and bold prints, all mixed with hand drawing by Mos Def himself.

“I’m loving what [UNDRCRWN] is doing. Loving how they show creativity, wit and style with their line and I’m really inspired by how they put their garments together. [I’m] Loving how they got a very unique perspective on athletic style. They make some very strong overtures to Brooklyn and Bed-Stuy and that’s me, so I responded to that almost immediately! What they’re doing is very distinct.” -Mos Def

The Mos Def x UNDRCRWN “Cut & Sew” Collection is now available at UNDRCRWN.com and select UC retailers. More looks after the click.

Kind of unexpected Mos Def appears in the latest photoshoot of the Neighborhood Spring/Summer 2009 Collection. The musician/actor wears some of the stand-out pieces from the new collection of the Japanese brand, including the biker Gore-Tex jacket and the animal print hoodie.

UNDR-CRWN got together with one of hip hop’s biggest artists and these days actor and television host, Mos Def, to create a capsule collection. Designed by Dustin Canalin for UNDR-CRWN, the collection mainly consists of t-shirts, as well as a few cut-and-sew pieces. There will be another delivery of the collection, that we can hopefully present you very soon.

Now take a look at the first delivery of The Mos Def Collection by UNDR-CRWN after the jump.

On June 28th, 2008 Undrcrwn and Mos Def partnered to premiere a limited edition clothing collection at Mos’s historic performance live at New York’s legendary Carnegie Hall. The Collection and the night were creatively titled THE WATERMELON SYNDICATE.
The line created by Undrcrwn in collaboration with Mos Def debuted to the public on June 28, 2008 at Carnegie Hall during MOS DEF’s presentation of AMINO ALKALINE:  THE WATERMELON SYNDICATE.  This sold out show, as part of the JVC Jazz Festival, featured Mos Def and his complete orchestra wearing Undrcrwn x Watermelon Syndicate limited edition tees.  The tee shirts will be available in limited quantities exclusively at Karmaloop.com.
