At Scion‘s lifestyle gallery and retail space on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, cult fashion label HOOD BY AIR has set up its first pop-up shop along with a month-long installation featuring the unsettling video above among many other things. The shop runs from May 18-June 16 and is located at:

Scion AV Installation
7667 Melrose Ave.
Los Angeles, CA 90046

Also, pics...

I hate these people. And the shirts are ugly. I HATE everything about this!

Is that ASAP Rocky?

There is also a very prominent and awesome clothing line called "Surface to Air" which seems a little to similar to to this name.

I think so. I guess the brand is somehow affiliated with him.

If you think about this real hard.

You'll realise you don't actually give a shit.

Ugh, just look at this barrage of clusterfucks (erm, 'scuse language)

Let's just hope RDJ and/or the photographer responsible get the royalties from it and that they haven't just ripped off the photo (heaven forbid - surely the wouldn't be so cheap )

As long as RDJ approves of this I don't really care

I kind of miss the days when rappers wore expensive brand clothes, weird artwork was mostly found on album covers, and Japanese automobile brands simply made cars. You know, before that shit was all merged together in hyped promotional bullshit that was reblogged everywhere then forgotten about weeks later.

You're all assuming Richard/WARP even know about this...

So basically in this thread:

If RDJ doesn't know about this, they stole the artwork

if RDJ does know about this, he's cashing in and selling out.

WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?

I assumed they wouldn't be so stupid they would take copyrighted material and sell it without permission, specially considering it's a pretty well known (kinda) album cover. If that's not the case I'd love to see them being sued

Nobody's said that yet. Yet.

I'd be kinda surprised if RDJ/Warp didn't know about this. The clothes brand gotta have to be dumb as shit to use licensed images on their hipsta-wear without notifying the original author of the images...but looking at their dumb as shit lazy designs, they are probably thinking its an obscure image and no-one will question it's origin.

Yeah, regardless of what image they have nicked, the clothing looks bloody awful. Do people really lap this shit up?

If someone wanted to pay me to use my face on their shirt I would allow it.

You would be utterly shocked at how much knockoff merchandise is sold worldwide, and not just images from obscure electronic music albums from 1996.

I guarantee you they found the image online, thought it was "cool", and used it without any sort of copyright clearance whatsoever. Happens all the time.

Well, Richard knows now. He can begin getting his licensing fees. You are welcome, Richard.

why are those P.E. sweaters so popular nowadays?

Yep

its ok guys, it's from los angeles

AFX is producing A$AP rocky's next album. Richard will send him 12 tracks of Bit 4-esque doodles, take the money, and float away in his submarine.

it would kind of be cool if somebody just airbrushed/whatever it's called the album cover on a shirt by themselves and it was a singular sort of thing

now I want to make a shirt from this jpeg http://ethosfitness.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/female_student1.jpg that would be genuinely a little lol to me

there isn't offical warp merch with the RDJ album cover on it already?

google images could be an interesting source of t-shirt artwork though

sooo has anyone fwded this to warp or whoever owns the rights to this now? lol
