This Thursday, The Hundreds is releasing a collaboration for the ages, designed by one of our closest friends, hardest-working former employees, and longest supporters, Joshua Vides. A fan of The Hundreds since he was just a kid on the block, Josh has grown into one of the most fascinating artists in the world in recent years.
His neoclassic take on comics, pop art, and graffiti has taken on a life of its own, finding Vides’ work on everything from the dressing room at The Hundreds Los Angeles and his own line at Fendi, to an installation at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. His seemingly simple black illustrations on plain white canvases play with the mind, tricking the audience into thinking they’re seeing a work on paper when they’re actually looking at real life.
For The Hundreds X Joshua Vides collection, Josh designed all the pieces in reference to his all-time favorites from when he was growing up buying The Hundreds. He reworked the iconic Paisley print, redrawing it from the ground up in his own style, breathing new life into a Fairfax classic. The same goes for the 18 T-shirt, which also got the Josh Vides reboot treatment. And it didn’t stop there. How could we let Josh rework all of his The Hundreds grails and hold back Adam Bomb? We couldn’t. Adam also makes an appearance in the collection, as you’ve never seen him before.
The collection also features a paint splatter pattern that resembles some pants we made a few years ago that Josh felt a connection to, so we’re recreating them using just white “paint,” but we’re embroidering the splatter this time instead of printing it. See? Some things do change.
Get your hands on all your favorite pieces from The Hundreds X Joshua Vides Thursday, August 12 on The Hundreds App and Online Shop, as well as select stockists worldwide.
