PLEASURES Latest Capsule Focuses on the Risqué Works of Late Artist Patrick Nagel
Centered around four prints from Nagel’s archive.
Following up its eyewear collaboration with Akila, PLEASURES teamed up with the estate of late American artist Patrick Nagel on a print-centered capsule collection.
Before his passing, Nagel stood at the forefront of illustration in the late ’70s and early ’80s in his re-imagination of the graphic arts and cementing of Los Angeles as a key player in the visual arts. Known for his minimalist risqué prints that served as a portrayal of the contemporary woman, Nagel left indelible marks with his work and influence in the fashion, photography and music realms. Gravitating towards four prints, the special range of long- and short-sleeved T-shirts, crewnecks and hoodies undeniably expresses the late artist’s sensibility and style. PLEASURES also injected some of its own design leanings adding choice references to salons and an ode to Patrick Nagel.
Priced between $40 and $90 USD, the Patrick Nagel capsule collection is available now online and at select PLEASURES retailers like HBX in coming weeks.
For more contemporary fashion, Advisory Board Crystals teamed up with Wikipedia on a special release to keep knowledge free.
