Obey Clothing
Obey clothing was created by graffiti artist Shepard Fairey. Shepard’s stencil art has become more famous and prolific and so has the clothing. The majority of Obey t-shirt designs feature the same street art that are found on city walls of the world. They feature full colour prints and graffiti designs. The rise of Obey clothing can be seen by the amount of media attention they have seen recently because of the Obey “Progress” and “Hope” t-shirts. The designs feature some of Shepard Fairey’s most controversial artwork to date and have been causing a stir.
The Obey Clothing Autumn 2008 line features the limited edition Public Enemy X Obey t-shirt and the M-65 coat, both of which are compiled of Public Enemy art. The ladies line of Obey clothing features a range of jeans called Kinky Love IV and Wild Side. The Kinky Love IV skinny jeans have colourful block denim while the Wild Side skinny jeans have leopard print styles. Shepard Fairey and the Obey Clothing boys have done an excellent job this year, with some high profile clothing designs and artwork being seen all over the globe. Obey are sure to make more news in 2009 after a very prolific year for the clothing label.
