New York City based women’s wear label Married to the Mob announces its new fall line with the help of legendary French artist Fafi. These portrait sessions shot by photographer Lynnette Astaire are the first in a new series that Married to the Mob will embark on featuring extraordinary women from all over the world. This season features Fafi, a Parisian artist known globally for her colorful and provocative paintings as well as her recent work with Adidas and Le Sportsac featuring her “Fafinette” characters.

After an introduction at hotspot Colette in Paris where both of their brands can be found, Mob founder Leah McSweeney’s decision to feature Fafi for the campaign was a natural fit for Mob, Fafi is a pioneer and trendsetting artist all while balancing work with her husband and son.

Married to the Mob has been at the forefront of the womens streetwear movement  with unique collaborations with brands such as MCM and artists such as legendary graffiti artist Kaws and portrait photographer Lynnette Astaire. These projects have been noted in editorial outlets such as Vogue, Paper, Elle, Jalouse and Complex. In addition to this seasons shoot Leah plans to add Fafi to her growing list of Mob contributing artists in the future.

Here you see some nice new necklaces created by the Parisian Surface 2 Air collective, especially for Hint.
“For their fourth appearance in the Hint Shop, our S2A friends have taken their trademark sterling silver dagger-and-skull jewelry, dipped it three times in solid-color rubber (the durable kind used for tool handles) and made it exclusive to Hint. As in, it’s absolutely never appeared anywhere before.”
The definitely look nice also for the summer and the rubber will for sure also make them durable! Now available at the Hint Shop.
