HUF and Mia Scarpa Go Acidic Americana in New Capsule
Featuring airbrushed tees, belts and shorts from the Los Angeles-based rising star.
Mia Scarpa keeps her grip on the compressor, delivering dreamy airbrushed works that sit at the forefront of a 21st century digital folk sensibility. The Los Angeles-based artist is teaming up with skate-streetwear label HUF for a new capsule collection, distilling her unmistakable visual world into a range of wearables, fittingly grounded in a West Coast edge.
The lineup spans heavyweight tees, webbed belts and denim shorts, each emblazoned with Scarpa’s hand in the details. True to her practice, the designs tap into ideas of memory and nostalgia through plumes of color, pattern and composition, as the artist recalls fond memories from her RISD stint.
Highlights include a five-piece run of one-one-one Cromer shorts, each graced with a unique airbrushed design — a deer frozen in night vision green, a wolf pacing under the moonlight. Others hone in on Americana grit: a cowgirl donning a “live free or die” shirt stands confidently on the front panel of one pair, while skull and flame motifs bring PCH biker culture to mind.
