Zapping x Cansei de Ser Sexy

Posted on February 18, 2008 Under Fashion

Sooner or later, as time has told, many graphic designers and street artists make the bounce to designing apparel. With rock stars, the two creative outlets aren’t always yin and yang "” like, imagine the potential disaster of Iggy Pop launching his own swimwear ’08 line. It’d all be in leather and you’d probably have to keep pulling it out of your ass. But when you bring Brazil’s much-adored indie rock export Cansei de Ser Sexy to the drawing table, a band known for their sometimes bizarre get-ups on stage that purposely match their playful musical demeanor, you get the great collection they’ve done for Zapping. It shouldn’t be that much of a surprise though; the multi-talented members of CSS have backgrounds in fashion and art, especially singer Lovefoxxx, who honed the science of print design probably during the same time she did her catchy lyrics. She’s done a nice pencil print that features on the majority of the items, including a men’s button-down shirt and hoodie. Girls can choose tanks, accessories and leggings so bright they require sunglasses for those who dare stare at them straight on.

The Zapping/CSS special line is sold only online and there’s no word on whether they’ll deliver out of Brazil, but if you’re that much of a fan, hit me up and I’ll see if I can help you out.
