PACE and à reinterpret the art of Imai Yusk

After launching the drop II of the MURIBUSHI collection, PACE joined forces with à Urban Shop to reinterpret the art of Imai Yusk. The collaboration took shape through clothing pieces that combine aesthetics and functionality, questioning the relationship and current boundaries between fashion and contemporary art.

Yusk's work possesses a style that transcends and simultaneously abandons the precepts commonly associated with street art, focusing on expressive scenarios, spiritual messages, and an intense critical imagination that, from the figurative to the abstract, result in a singular artistic composition.

The paintings Helping Hands and Critical were chosen to bring the collaboration to life through prints on t-shirts, shirts, and pants.

The utility vest from PACE has been redesigned and adapted to meet the artist's needs in his studio, enhanced with leather patches on the front that carry the hankos of PACE and Yusk.

The Helping Hands Shirt was developed with premium lightweight cotton, hand-painted external front pocket, featuring a zipper and leather patches. The art symbolizing the union between the three parts appears printed on the back of the shirt.

The Critical T-Shirt was produced in Pro Club Comfort pieces, featuring an embroidery on the front and showcasing the painting Critical expressed in an experimental manner.

The Helping Hands Sweatpants were developed in washed 380 GSM fleece. The zipper at the hem provides two distinct fits, and the silk with Yusk's art completes the piece.

All items from the collaboration were signed by hand by Yusk.

The PACE x à x YUSK collection is available in person at à Consolação (Rua da Consolação, 1031) and online at pacecompany.com.br and anurbanshop.com.br.
