What’s the take care of all of the Keith Haring collabs? The FT has the reply to all my questions right here (pay wall), trying on the legacy of Keith Haring as an activist and accessible artist who coined the phrase “artwork is for everyone”. The corporate answerable for the unending record of collabs (Uniqlo, Primark, Junya Watanabe and Coach amongst them) is Artestar. The licensing company additionally represents photographers, designers and creatives, and its success highlights the merchification of tradition within the trendy age.
However this newest Haring collab isn’t only a print slapped onto a tee. The AKILA x Keith Haring collaboration is a spread of optical eyewear that permits you to cosplay because the bespectacled artist himself. The arms have ‘arms’ that mimic Haring’s personal playful drawings and the lenses have a discreet brand too. Out there in two body shapes, a pop-py color palette and pretty inexpensive at £140, they’re suitably on model.
It’s all additional proof of our want to embody our favorite artists and a continuation of the development for turning well-known artists into cute avatars.
The AKILA x Keith Haring assortment shall be reside at AKILA on Monday twentieth March.
