Saint Laurent's New Skimboard Is The Ultimate Beach Flex
Saint Laurent's RIVE DROITE imprint has just revealed a collaboration with the estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat. The partnership will bring to life a specially curated exhibition of original works by the artist, as well as a capsule collection.
Curated by Saint Laurent creative director Anthony Vaccarello, the exhibition will feature 18 original lithographs, a handful of drawings, ceramic plates that once belonged to Andy Warhol, as well as a denim jacket from one of the first-ever AIDS auctions. The pieces will be exhibited across Saint Laurent's RIVE DROITE stores in Paris and Los Angeles and will be displayed until September.
The capsule collection includes a range of accessories and was created in collaboration with Basquiat’s estate as well as Artestar New York. Signature Saint Laurent bags including a backpack, tote, and crossbody are elevated with a Basquiat graphic. The same graphic also appears on a phone case and skateboard decks, as well as the crown jewel of the capsule: a skimboard.
The skimboard retails for just above $6,000, a small price to pay for the ultimate beach flex. It features both Saint Laurent and Basquiat branding, meaning you’ll be torn between hanging it up as a piece of art and hitting the beach to practice your new hobby.
Lastly, a range of T-shirts and hoodies are also a part of the collaboration, featuring works from the artist as well as other graphic prints such as a crown drawing with “shit” scribbled below.
