Maharishi is once again raising the bar in the fashion world by introducing a capsule collection inspired by the works of Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Honoring a New York Art Icon
Jean-Michel Basquiat, born in New York City in the 1980s, is regarded as one of the leading neo-expressionists. Known for his artworks that highlight social and economic inequalities, Basquiat's pieces blend painting, poetry, and drawing, continuing to resonate and engage socially.
Sustainable Materials and Iconic Artworks
The latest Maharishi collection uses sustainable materials such as hemp, organic cotton, and durable technical fabrics. The collection features iconic Basquiat artworks like “Nu Nile” and “Pez Dispenser”, transformed into intricate embroideries and prints. A standout piece is the DPM: Forest Bonsai Chalk, which combines camouflage with the artist's distinctive style.
Diverse Silhouettes and Unique Designs
Presented with the participation of Brooklyn musician Cisco Swank, the collection showcases a variety of silhouettes, from Original Snopants® to accessories and rugs. The campaign photos, styled by Basquiat's longtime friend Karen Binns, pay tribute to the artist in his hometown.
