Cool Hunting
Set to drop next week, toy designer Mad (known for his block-head figures for My Plastic Heart) is the artist behind the first edition from a new line of tees called Socialpest. The premiere design (pictured here) hints at a Sharpie theme, an ongoing thread in Mad's work. Printed in high-mesh (more supple) gold ink on a soft yet durable blend of hemp and cotton (lighter than all-hemp fabrics), only 100 will be available and each will feature a subtle embroidered "s" logo on the sleeve.
Look out for future collabos with the likes of former Hustler and Playboy creative director Skip Williamson, poster artist Guy Burwell, Dutch graffiti artist DHM, (who also designed the Socialpest logo), toy designer and artist sket one, and UK-based illustrators Andy Smith and Showchicken.
