Just last week we introduced the Patta “3 The Hard Way, Triple Threat, Patta Reworked” project with some logo pieces out of their Fall/Winter 2007 collection.
To set off their special sweater project “3 the Hard Way, Triple Threat, Patta Reworked” in an official manner, they reveal their first artist, the wonderboy Piet Parra. Parra designed the very first Patta logo, as well as the Patta Script Logo, so it was only logic to ask him for this project since he is obviously one of their favorite artists.
The mostly self-taught illustrator/designer/artist channels a vintage form with curves, yet with a decidedly modern, post-pop approach. His vibrant and often humorous images, which feature a distinctive, hand-drawn feel, can be seen printed on paper in various exhibitions around the globe, on a flyer for a club near you, on the sleeve of a record, on billboards and silkscreened on tees and sweaters. Parra is represented by the London based agency Big Active (www.bigactive.com) and is co owner of the new wave clothing label Rockwell (www.rockwellclothing.com).
Parra made two designs for this project, the Parra Typo and the Lady Shoe.
The Patta x Parra sweaters all feature heavy duty fleece, thermal linings, underarm ventilation eyelets, side slit pockets and will be available in-store only at Patta on Saturday November 24th and Alife Rivington Club (New York) (date TBA). Be on the lookout for the next artist to be announced next week!
After the jump more detailed pictures of the Patta x Parra pieces.
It seems like the Destiny Collection, a collaboration by Stussy and Futura this season, has not come to an end yet and still has some surprises waiting for you. On April 26th, a Stussy x Futura Destiny Bearbrick Set will be released. Overall it consists of five 100% Bearbricks, all featuring the skull that Futura created for the collection. Via
