Henry Lloyd x Oi Polloi Sailing Jackets

September 5th 10, 5:10

The two Mancunian institutions of Oi Polloi and Henri Lloyd have teamed up to reproduce some of Henri Lloyd’s classic 1960s sailing jackets – namely the Viking and Consort RWR (Round the World Race).

While both the original jackets were originally intended to be worn out-at-sea (Sir Francis Chichester chose to wear them on his pioneering voyage around the world in 1966) their stand-out design meant they were appropriated as something simply to be worn out-and-about. Almost twenty years after the original release, dapper Milanese youths associated with the Paninaro scene adopted the jackets in a European take on the preppy look seen sported by American college students.

Both jackets will be limited in numbers and exclusive to Oi Polloi. With the re-issued jackets due to land soon.

The images shown feature the vintage jackets that inspired the collaboration. Shot by Antony Crook for the upcoming, third installment of The Rig-Out magazine.

Ari Marcopoulos ‘No Cause’ Exhibition at O.H.W.O.W

September 3rd 10, 13:56

Ari Marcopoulos will show his latest solo works at Miami’s O.H.W.O.W from September 11th through till October 9th. The show is entitled No Cause and will launch alongside a new book from Marcopoulos titled Stoopz.

Ari Marcopoulos has cemented himself as one of the most influential cultural anthropologists of the last three decades. His body of work focused on marginal pockets of American life and chronicled the early roots of these subcultures as they slowly crept into the mainstream conscience. He has an uncanny ability to be at the right place at the right time, capturing fledgling cultural movements as they are taking form. In the process, Marcopoulos produced some of the most arresting images of youth and defiance this generation ever witnessed.

New York in 1993 had a style of skating like no other. It was not your ordinary dude fest. Actually, there were no dudes allowed. These skaters were train-hopping, taxicab jumping, runaway kids – born and raised in the city. Kids from every borough and background bombed down hills, crossed bridges and ferries, to session the urban paradise. Around this time, the NYC skate scene was just beginning to take form. Very few people were able to see this culture firsthand, but Marcopoulos was there and his access was unrestricted. His exhibition, No Cause, captures the mood of the New York skate scene at the moment of inception. Through intimate portraits and quiet moments caught on Polaroid, black and white photos, color snap shots, photocopies, and drawings, Marcopoulos takes us on a ride, chronicling the personalities and locations that shaped a movement and inspired popular culture on a global scale.
