Following the teaser videos, Orgone Project and Artist Series tees, we can now give you a look into the lookbook for Sixpack France’s Autumn/Winter 2010 collection, “Synesthesie.” The following is an excerpt from Sixpack France’s introduction that explains their inspirations and moods.

Evil is one of the primary instincts of the human heart.
 We advised you that we were about to break through its very substance – here we are. The explorations of endless desert landscapes are behind us: here comes the time to sink into our deepest and darkest fantasies.
 The loneliness of inner space as another form of vastness. An itinerary similar to the one of Rimbaud, but backwards.

We don’t intend to commit suicide in the gothic tradition, but we claim it’s time to draw a line under ease and superficiality. 
To get rid of that self-indulgent regurgitation of the same obvious references, over and over again.
 We’re tired of the predictable revivals, of the stale and unimaginative recycling.

Have a look at the full collection after the click.

As part of their SS10 “Peyote Poem” collection, Sixpack France worked with designer Uncle Geez on a series of Neil Young tribute tees. “While immerging ourselves into the line, we used to listen to those amazing records that are Harvest, Zuma, or Rust Never Sleep…Arc Weld and On the Beach! The idea of this series was to create merchandising-like t-shirts that could have been bought at a Neil Young’s show or in a music store.” Now available online.

Sixpack France presents a new collaborative collection with artist Joe Misrelli and Polaroid. The line consists of three pop-abstract polaroids printed on two white tee shirts and a black one.

“The photos are all taken with a modified polaroid pro-pack to take extreme close-ups. Each print consists of multiple exposures taken of shapes and textures laid on top of each other to form a surreal landscape.

The concept stems from psychedelic LP art and musicians like Santana, Pink Floyd etc. but just as importantly people like Carl Sagan, Neil Degrasse Tyson and Buckminster Fuller. These dudes were the real deal. They brought deep scientific and utopian ideas to the general public. Their work is what inspired much of the art of the 60s and 70s and the images their work conjure-up, in my head, are what I wanted to depict in these polaroids.”

A more detailed look at the collection follows here.

Sixpack France made their debut US tradeshow appearance this week at (capsule) Show Las Vegas. On display was a Spring 2010 collection entitled The Death of Print. Focusing on a less flashy, graphically driven aesthetic than we’ve seen in the past, the brand developed several well-cut, paneled oxford shirts and concept-based graphic tees alongside patterned fleece and accessories. Spending a week in the desert on a recent trip to LA, Sixpack also worked with a loose psychedelia theme over an artist series of garments featuring the work of Steven Harrington and others. Watch for these pieces to hit retail come Spring 2010.

Sixpack France worked with Steven Harrington and Justin Krietemeyer’s graphic studio, National Forest, as the latest extension of their time-scanning Autumn/Winter 2009 line. The work is presented in a capsule-collection homage to Superstudio’s Fundamental Acts series and is entitled “A bizarre travelogue into radical dramatic architecture”.

Created from 1971 to 1973, the “Fundamental Acts” were a series of 5 experimental movies centred on the relations between architecture as a conscious formalization of the planet, and human life. The whole series was based on Gustav Freytag’s classical dramatic structure. Each video made a natural progression into the following five acts: the exposition; the rising action; the climax; the falling action and the catastrophe.

National Forest adapted this dramatic pyramid structure into a series of five abstractly designed clothing pieces: Life-Youth-Ceremony-Love-Death. Physically, they take form as 4 t-shirts and a jacket. The line is now available online here.

Sixpack France presents the second part of their triptych line “Fragments of Yesterday,” with a Robert Crumb micro-collection. As an obvious progression from their recent collection, Sixpack wanted to make a tribute to the American counter culture and underline its influence on modern art – and who better represents that movement than cartoonist Robert Crumb?

Sixpack says they “have always been very inspired and impressed by his works, his avant-garde cartoons which were a hilarious satyre of American society, his anti corporate professionnal choices and his support to alternative independant medias like fanzines and underground comix.” The collaboration consists of three t-shirts each using vintage R. Crumb drawings from the 1970’s. Available now from Sixpack France.

Have a closer look at each piece from the Robert Crumb x Sixpack France Micro-Collection after the zap.

DC has partnered with Sixpack France for their latest Double Label Project.  The collection, dubbed “Non Merci”, draws from inspirations that cross political borders, embrace impossible love and yet harbor deep feelings. Meaning “no thanks” in French, the translation of “Non Merci” can also be interpreted as “I’m over it.” For the project, the symbol of this mindset is a beautiful blonde model that exudes “Non Merci”, placing her on an untouchable pedestal as an object of desire.

Two DC LIFE silhouettes, the Xander and Sector 7, are detailed with custom Sixpack patterns and logos, and trimmed with pigskin leathers. Clear soles on both shoes are underlain with the image of the blonde model. Accompanying the footwear is a lambskin leather hooded jacket, a reversible crewneck pullover, and a zip hoodie. Available now at DC flagship stores select boutiques worldwide. For more information please visit DCShoes.com.
