as you know, i rarely post about product, but this particular book deserves some shine. i've always been a huge fan of Kevin Lyons, but opening up this book takes me back to freshman year at NYU, when indy hip-hop, skate, and clothing were in its commercial infancy. I can't help but think that his work (amongst others) indirectly led to the birth of things like the Lab.

here's a peek...

cotton bound cover... so lowkey, but perfect

early Fourstar designs and some of my favorite shirts ever. They should reissue these. Kevin also did that Royal logo.

one of the most effective music logos ever...

KL is the undisputed king of the intelligent hip-hop shirt. here he flips Method Man's verse to shout out Huf.

early 1994 design for Kingpin... goin off the Philly Blunts craze. What started streetwear? The Philly Blunt shirt or Stussy's 8 Ball?

remember when those new broncos unis came out and how fresh they were? dude had a hand in it....

some KL designs we used to have... don't sleep

go get it
