You may remember our coverage of the Eric Elms exhibit at Colette in Paris recently. The good folks at BKRW had a chance to sit down with the man himself to discuss a range of topics spanning his career. Most interesting perhaps, is his insider perspective on the streetwear industry and the fine line between the graphic design world and the art world.
With extensive documentation of Eric Elms’ recent gallery showing at French lifestyle institution colette Gallery, four t-shirt designs were released featuring art work seen at the gallery. The tees all possess a new vintage style print with faded graphics on white tee bodies. Also seen is the collaboration tote bag between colette, Eric Elms and Chapel of Dawn. Available now at Sold Out.
colette Gallery was the setting for artist and graphic designer Eric Elms’ most recent exhibition which launched May 5th. The exposition included both portraits and installations to offer attendees a sense of Elms’ diverse style which has been developed as an amalgamation of numerous trips and inspirations around the world.
