Emerging from the small-town of Kamloops, British Columbia, artist Aurel Schmidt has created a collection of lettered graphics for Opening Ceremony, culmanting in an 11-shirt release (one for each letter of Opening Ceremony). Each shirt references many everyday elements from donuts and bananas to bacon, lighters and cigarette butts. The graphics are printed on custom vintage t-shirts with pre-distressed qualities. A contest is currently going on via Opening Ceremony. The shirts retail for $60 USD.
Common Projects, the downtown shoe company best known for its sleek designs and gold-stamped numbers, created a fantastic pair of rustic hiking boots for Robert Geller’s Fall runway show. The rough, dark suede lace-up boots feature zippers on the instep and double buckles at the top. Thus far it seems like these were created solely for the show, but stay tuned for further developments if any type of release comes to light.
