Summary

  • Albino & Preto and Jean-Michel Basquiat collaborated on a new collection inspired by the artist’s work
  • The collection, which features gis, nogis, and lifestyle pieces, fuses Basquiat’s art with jiu-jitsu motifs
  • The limited-edition apparel, dropping September 10, pays tribute to Basquiat’s raw energy

Albino & Preto (A&P) recently unveiled a fresh line, drawing inspiration from the vibrant work and enduring influence of Jean-Michel Basquiat. This new collection aims to honor his raw vitality and enduring impact.

The collaboration showcases some of Basquiat’s less frequently exhibited works, fostering a organic link between his artwork and martial arts, notably jiu-jitsu. This intersection is pivotal to the collection, encompassing both gi and nogi outfits, in addition to off-the-mats lifestyle items.

Each item is created in small numbers using premium materials, showcasing the dedication of jiu-jitsu and the trailblazing attitude of Basquiat. This collection weaves martial arts symbols, frequently found within his art, into its design. A discreet tribute to “Achilles,” an old term for a jiu-jitsu footlock, is evident in the artwork.

Take a look at the information given earlier. The collaboration between A&P and Basquiat will be available starting September 10, exclusively on the official Albino & Preto website.
