New
York based Nathaniel S. collaborated with Japanese designer LKK Hara created a
series of street wear for both women and men. The first collection: DIRTY MONEY
is inspired by director Jean-Pierre Melville’s 70’s French film “Un Flic”
(direct translation: “A Cop”; film was also known as “Dirty Money” hence the name
of the label). Street wear collection which includes tees and shorts, contain bold
graphics merging modern art and hip hop elements.
Binzento
is thrilled to be invited first hand to shoot a creative with these pieces. The
1970’s brought a whole new era of experimenting exploitation and vigorous
adventure genres in cinemas. The idea behind this creative was to combine many
elements found in 70’s films. In addition to DIRTY MONEY’s 70’s French gangster
smash, I was also inspired by my favorite Bruce Lee martial arts scenes and the
explosion of Japanese cult classics of the same era, blended all in one. It’s a
violent cultural clash, but within it there is a soft sense of agreement.
Additional
amazing piece on Carmen Lee, was a multifold-wide legged trouser made with
recycled curtain, all hand painted and hand crafted by Canadian artist Wendy
Van Riesen (Dahlia Drive).
