A distanza di qualche settimana dal lancio della collezione Spring 2010, Freshjive mostra ora una mini-serie di magliette frutto della collaborazione con Seymour Chwast, riconosciuto come uno dei più importanti illustratori e graphic-designers del 20esimo secolo, e come co-fondatore dei Push Pin Studios.
La serie è composta da 4 t-shirts che riprendono i temi e lo stile che caratterizza Chwast. Tutte sono ora disponibili tra i negozi Freshjive e sull’online shop del brand di Los Angeles, Reserve.
Uno sguardo alle altre magliette della serie e una breve biografia dell’artista cliccando su ‘more’.
Mr. Chwast first gained notoriety in the 1950’s with a playful expressive approach to type and layout based on revivalism, which was a radical alternative to the Swiss formalism at the time. Chwast is noted for his strength in concept and design. A sense of humor underpins his illustration along with a keen understanding of traditional design. Chwast, along with his colleagues in Push Pin Studio (which they founded in 1954), reintroduced the long divorced principles of illustration and design. Moreover, he helped formulate a new graphic lexicon based on knowledge, appreciation, and re-application of past styles and forms. His work has been published in countless design books and publications. Chwast, along the many years of design, has also been committed to social and political issues. The combination of an expression of these issues along with a graphic wit seemed all too obvious to have him collaborate with our company.
