You might not know Shepard Fairey, but you've probably seen his work on your local street corner. His iconic imagery is found around the world, in the form of stickers, posters, and stencils on everything from electrical boxes to billboards. Fairey found his style for art at an early age. His major influences were skateboarding, the images associated with the underground skate scene, his passion for music and the inspiring graphics found in rock, punk, and hip hop album covers. In college, his influences broadened further and his art started to reflect world events and their leaders, as well as his own take on pop culture.
OBEY Clothing was launched in 2001 when Shepard saw clothing as an opportunity to be creative on many levels and t-shirts as another canvas for his graphics. Working closely with fashion designers, Mike Temosky and Erin Wignall, Shepard translates his philosophy of art and personal influences into a brand that speaks to many different genres. Each season, multiple themes and ideas are thrown into the melting pot, creating a style often difficult to categorize. Because of the diversity in influences, OBEY Clothing addresses many different styles, hitting on looks that are both classic and fashion driven.
