Kanye West’s Scarf Collection

Posted on May 10, 2011 by tiny | Posted in Miscellaneous | Leave a comment


If you haven’t heard already, Mr. West has just released a collection of five limited edition silk scarves yesterday. The design collaboration was chosen when West was approached by graphic design duo Mathias Augustyniak and Michael Amzalag of M/M to use George Condo’s artwork from his latest album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

There are five scarves total — Ballerine, Face, Phoenix, Power, and Priest — but they’ll cost you a pretty penny. Each scarf will retail for €250 (about $360) and are limited edition; with only 100 of each design being printed. Scarves are made of 100 % twill de soie, measure 90 x 90 cm (35 x 35″), and are made in France.

If you have the extra few Benjamins to spend, the scarves are now available at mmparis.com. Catch them while you can!

APRIL 17–AUGUST 8, 2011 / THE GEFFEN CONTEMPORARY AT MOCA

The Museum of Contemporary Art presents Art in the Streets, the first major U.S. museum exhibition of the history of graffiti and street art. The exhibition will trace the development of graffiti and street art from the 1970s to the global movement it has become today, concentrating on key cities where a unique visual language or attitude has evolved. Following MOCA’s presentation, the exhibition will travel to the Brooklyn Museum, where it will be on view March 30–July 8, 2012.

Art in the Streets will showcase installations by 50 of the most dynamic artists from the graffiti and street art community, including Fab 5 Freddy (New York), Lee Quiñones (New York), Futura (New York), Margaret Kilgallen (San Francisco), Swoon (New York), Shepard Fairey (Los Angeles), Os Gemeos (São Paulo), and JR (Paris). MOCA’s exhibition will emphasize Los Angeles’s role in the evolution of graffiti and street art, with special sections dedicated to cholo graffiti and Dogtown skateboard culture. The exhibition will feature projects by influential local artists such as Craig R. Stecyk III, Chaz Bojórquez, Mister Cartoon, RETNA, SABER, REVOK, and RISK.

The exhibition will open with a skate ramp designed by pro-skater Lance Mountain and artist Geoff McFetridge. Skate demonstrations by the Nike SB skate team will be held onsite for the duration of the exhibition.
