SS18 Yellow Warhol Screenprinted Denim

These Pants were featured on the Spring Summer 2018 Runway Show of Calvin Klein 205W39NYC. It was made in collaboration with the Andy Warhol Foundation, which also got the Creative Director of the season, Raf Simons, the access to the whole Archive of Andy Warhol. For SS18, Simons got use of Warhol’s “Death and Disaster” series, featuring tank tops and dresses with screen-printed images of car crashes and electric chairs. (the “Death and Disaster” series started when Henry Geldzahler, a curator and friend to Warhol, suggested the artist go deeper after creating his now iconic Campbell’s Soup Cans.) These unique pair of jeans feature a yellow screenprint of one of the "Car Crash" photographs from the series.
