I have already gushed on the blog about the collaboration between H&M and Lanvin which will be heading to an H&M near you as of the 23rd of november. Photos of the collaboration have started to circulate. Here are a few of my favorite pieces but I am not sure how determined I am to fight the Montreal girly lineup on the 23rd maybe if my nails grow just a bit more...
The Underbelly Project is the sum of 18 months, 103 street artist and an abandoned subway tunnel in New York city. This street art collaboration was only unveiled for two hours to a reporter from the NY times and his camera due to the illegality of the project.
Once the tour with the reporter was completed, all the equipment to get in and out of the tunnel was destroyed. One of the street artists explained the reason behind this decision: “We’re not under the illusion that no one will ever see it,” Workhorse said. “But what we are trying to do is to discourage it as much as possible.”
“If you go in there and break your neck, nobody’s going to hear you scream,” he said — at least assuming there are no track workers around. “You’re just going to have to hope that someone is going to find you before you die.”
Founded in 2002, Blik, a California based company, has taken removable surface graphics to a whole other level. You can choose from many of their graphics that are inspired from videogames, cartoons and art pieces or even customize your own. They are always collaboarating with various up and coming and established artists such as one of my favorites, Jeremy Fish. Also, they have joined forces with the community centered apparel store Threadless.
I am definitely buying a graphic for my bedroom wall, for now it is a secret, but definitely will put up a picture once I have it set on my wall!
