OBEY 10 Year Anniversary!

Obey’s Andre the Giant has been giving power to the posse for a whole (gasp!) decade, so to celebrate, Obey is giving you a bit of its hidden treasure. The 10 Year Anniversary Series features graphics from the original Obey catalog, which prove to be as classic and relevant in 2010 as they were from the get-go. These keepers are the first in a long, long lineup of memorable prints and definitely a huge part of the brand’s legacy. The graphics include the Script, Nubian, and Rock logos – all giving us the warm fuzzy feeling of nostalgia. Hurry along and pick up these perfectly worn in tees and tri-blend tanks before they go back into the Obey vault!

Above from left: the 10 Year Anniversary Script Burnout Tank, the 10 Year Anniversary Nubian Tri-Blend Tank in Indigo, and the 10 Year Anniversary Rock Tee in White.

“I’ve always wanted to be a Tenenbaum…”

Gwyneth Paltrow rocked this role as moping, secretive and independent child prodigy, Margot Tenenbaum. Adopted into this eccentric and ironic family of fallen geniuses, Margot and the rest of her now grown siblings spend their time wallowing in their depression and anxieties towards failure. Margot’s signature look in this film consists of a blunt haircut, striped polo dress, fur coat and cigarette always in hand. Sport this look with the Motel Husky coat, Obey Low Tide dress, the Jeffrey Campbell Macho shoe and the Honeydew Intimates Ruffle Heart Chemise… oh and don’t forget the black eyeliner.

Remember “My Cousin Vinny”? Classic! A very young Marisa Tomeii nailed it as Vinny’s spunky out-of-work hairdresser fiance Mona Lisa Vito, bagging an Oscar for her performance.  While she dressed mainly in black, her wardrobe somehow managed to be almost as loud as she was! Clockwise from the top: The Kate Shoe by Ash Shoes, the Sphinx Jacket by Motel, the Jealous Lover Hooded Bomber by Obey, and the Sabine Dress by Motel.

Shepart Fairey “May Day” Show

One hell of a way to go out – Deitch Projects will host MAY DAY within it’s hallowed walls as the gallery’s final project, featuring entirely new work from Obey‘s Shepard Fairey.

Referencing the familiar distress call used by police and firefighters in emergency situations, May 1st – May Day – is furthermore observed throughout the world as International Worker’s Day and Labor Day here in United States, where unions and socialist groups unite to celebrate the achievements of the international labor movement and demonstrate against the continued slight of the working man and woman. You know by now that both meanings resonate throughout Fairey’s body of work and contributions to the cause, so you can expect the debut of more uplifting images to be presented throughout this month at Deitch Projects.

The official MAY DAY opening is this Saturday, May 1st from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Deitch Projects (18 Wooster Street, New York, New York). The exhibition runs through the 29th, but we would recommend going early as to not miss out on this once in a lifetime show… did we mention that the first 300 people to attend the opening receive a limited-edition MAY DAY flag poster?

Check out some images and video below featuring the makings-of Fairey’s latest exhibition, not to mention some action shot by legendary photographer Glen E. Friedman (one of The Blogs’ favorites) of the new mural at the cross of Houston and Bowery streets in New York’s Lower East Side.

Hope to see you all at the opening!
