The first co-lab between NBFG and Addict has been released. The co-lab was originally conceived and designed in early 2007, when I was asked to design a bespoke print for the Method Zip Hoodie - one of Addict’s staple pieces. This print was something that I had been previously developing and is a twist on the four playing card suit icons with NBFG monograms.

This week, in preparation of the Addict launch and giveaway, NBFG hooked up with super talented photographer and graf artist Ethel to shoot our girl Ren in the SS08 MethodZip hoodies. For those who for some reason aren’t acquainted with Ethel’s work - she’s the girl behind all of the amazing photos for Insa, as well as being a seriously accomplished graf writer in her own right.

This is the 59Fifty I designed for the New Era Sessions. The cap was originally designed back in April ‘07 for the Sessions; where artists and designers were invited to use the 59Fifty as a blank canvas. Only 6 samples of each were made and showcased in flagship store exhibitions. This was my piece; Strawberries & Cream. The fruits of my labour! The Sessions Exhibition was on show at The New Era London Flagship store throughout December 07.

New Addict Spring/Summer ‘08 catalogue has just hit the doormat and it’s great to see it finally in print, shiny and real. I’m a print girl at heart, so that feeling of getting something back from the printers is always a good one - unless it’s done fucked it up of course, which isn’t fun for anyone. But I digress, the catalogue previewed at the recent Bread & Butter Barcelona and this is the first official glimpse of the new Addict x Not Bad For a Girl MethodZip Hoody spread. I’m well proud to be able to post this baby up! These are the pictures from our shoot last month and Jasmine looks amazing. The only bad news is that we are gonna have to hold tight until next season before we can get our paws on them!
