We present you our new capsule collection taken from our SS10 “Peyote Poem collection” and designed by the American artist Joe Misurelli.

The line consists of three pop-abstract polaroids printed on two white tee shirts and a black one.

While creating the line, Joe Misurelli told us more about his creative process, inspirations and the feelings he had around the line.

Here are his words :

“These photos are taken with a modified polaroid pro-pack. With it I’m able to take extreme close-ups. Each print consists of multiple exposures on a single sheet of film combined to form an abstract landscape.

The concept stems from psychedelic LP art and musicians like Santana, Pink Floyd etc. but just as importantly people like Carl Sagan, Neil Degrasse Tyson and Buckminster Fuller. These dudes were the real deal. They brought deep scientific and utopian ideas to the general public.
The images that their work conjure-up in my head are what I wanted to depict in these polaroids.”

The collection is exclusively available online.

Friends, we are very pleased to unveil this “Armageddon” tee shirt.
Designed by the Japanese studio BELL, this piece is an ode to Nostradamus, the famous French St-Remy-De-Provence-based seer.
We wanted to create a kind of  supporter tee shirt with an aesthetic coming from American colleges.
The logo is based on a real portrait of the prophet but his face has been replaced with a new one… to better stick to our era.

Who is the new king of apocalypse ?

Available here on a very limited run.

Obsessions of the day: Cast of VICES.

We met those guys when we were in Los Angeles.
Working in New York, they created very good and impressive pieces of jewellery all based on on cigarette butts, pills, bottle caps and cocke bags.

“Born from a desire to create artifacts out of our vices, Cast of Vices celebrates the inherent design aesthetic of these substances while at the time casting a critical eye on pop culture and our obsession with self-medication and addictions.”

We had an interesting feature on the latest issue of LABEL.
The Belgian fashion magazine asked us about the brand philosophy and influences…
Thanks to Stéphanie.

Voice to Sixpack investigator and founder, Lionel Vivier : “Our philosophy is simple: to be sincere in our work, have fun and always surprise and grab the attention of our audience. I define Sixpack as a fashion brand with a cultural dimension.
“To me Sixpack’s aesthetic is a mix of pop cultures and experimentations, with codes, hidden meanings and implicit cultural references.”
“I let myself guided by a kind of self-fulfilment through contradictions, and in many human relations. I am fond of what raises surprise and questioning. André Breton’s Surrealism, for instance, with his concept of hypnotic sleeps and automatic writings. Drugs and hallucinogenic substances have always intrigued and attracted me.”
“As brand designers, what we want is to tell a story playing with colors, tastes, and a different-leveled aesthetic. In two words : to create an epic story.”

We have recently launched our second collaboration with DC Shoes at Size Shop in Soho, Carnaby Street, London.
This time we have closely worked with Swedish artist PMKFA on a a sleek, sober and monochromatic micro-line : two sneakers, the Sector 7 and the Admiral, as well as two t-shirts and a matching New Era fitted cap.

We are happy to show you some images of the project launching in London…

Why do you think you have been invited to be a part of the art show?

Possibly because the abstract nature of my work lends itself the abstract nature of our existence.

What is the link between the movie It Was On Earth That I Knew Joy and your poster?

The end of our time on earth.

Clockwork Orange, Rumble Fish and Annie Hall.

What did you learn today?

That Napoleon was not actually small. His height at the time of his death was recorded in French measurements. These were never converted to the english measurements, causing him to ‘lose’ around 5 inches in height. He was actually an average height for this period of time.

Sixpack France is pleased to share with you some clichés shot during the opening of “It Was On Earth That I Knew Joy” at Scion Gallery, Los Angeles.

Twenty artists were involved in the exhibition such as Honet, Cody Hudson, PMKFA, Russell Maurice, Mark Owens, ill-Studio etc…
We invited them to create artworks all inspired by the movie directed by Jean Baptiste de Laubier and produced by Sixpack France.

See the pictures of the installations and posters created for the exhibition.
The posters are handscreenprinted on a limited run of 25 ex.
They should be available on www.sixpack.fr very soon.

The show will run until March 13th 2010.

Thanks to the artists and SCION team (Jerie, Evan, Edit, Kent, and the doctor) !

Why do you think you have been invited to be a part of the art show?

It might be the fear, the fear made by the idea that we could be very upset by the fact of not being invited.

What is the link between the movie « It Was On Earth That I Knew Joy » and your poster?

Image hijacking, information manipulation , death and nature.

During our trip in Los Angeles, we drove far to the desert to relaxe ourselves and take our inspiration back.
We went to the incredible Joshua tree desert.
More below some pictures of this nice moment.
