Rocksmith Tees, Summer ’08
By GrahamCumberbatchRockSmith is a funky, pop-culture division of streetwear collective Kilo International which also produces a line under the name Kilo Goods. On the scene since 2006, the label had always boasted fresh colors and admirably street-savvy designs but really never captured my attention until now. For their Summer ’08 Collection of tees, RockSmith went back to that oh-so-reliable well of streetwear inspiration and mined ’80s and ’90s hip-hop and black pop culture. The graphics and colors are all seriously on-point, and the references–everything from Juice to Getto Boys to Kid ‘n’ Play to Arsenio Hall to Guns ‘n’ Roses–both cleverly nostalgic and impeccably cool. Oh, and don’t forget the Warhol Obama tee. See more Rocksmith below…
