Today we can announce the upcoming project between Levi’s and Obey by Shepard Fairey. The collaboration spans over a small capsule collection, which consists of denim, shirts and graphic t-shirts. Each piece has been hand-customized and original artwork has been created specifically for this collaborative project. On top of that each product has been worn to give it intentionally a unique look and feel. The collection will be released on October 29th, with only a handful of stores getting the full collection. Hopefully we can soon show you more.

We visited the Shepard Fairey exhibition at the Merry Karnowsky Gallery in Berlin over the weekend. On Saturday they opened the Print Retrospective 1997-2009 exhibition. Especially in the context of his recent stardom it was interesting seeing his earlier works again, next to his new ones. The huge publicity push that the artist got with the Obama artwork, was certainly also reflected in the prices of his prints.

The exhibition is running until July 11th, so make sure to pass by.
