...seen in mid-March 2014 at the collaborative collection by Levi's and illustrator Jim Phillips for Spring/Summer 2014. Jim Phillips worked during the 1970s as art director for Santa Cruz Skateboards and influenced the visual culture of the scene. The prints used by Levi's vibrate Californian board culture with chill-out and dark rock motifs. The hand with wave (image on this page) has a sea god 'Poseidon'-appeal; Poseidon is the one from Greek mythology who 'shakes' the ocean and earth (earthquakes). fig.: Black t-shirt with white print of a wave which morphs into an angry hand, or a hand that catches the wave; from the collaborative Levi's X Jim Phillips Capsule Collection SS2014 which consists of printed trucker vest and jacket, t-shirts and baseball raglan shirts. Photo provided by Levi's in mid-March 2014. |
