Tokyo First mini poster, 2001

A relic from the early days of streetwear culture in 2001, this mini poster features a photograph by reknown photographer David Sims reworked by KAWS in his interventionist style. A Kimpsons Krusty the Clown is in the background while a KAWS Bendy wraps itself around the model. On the reverse is information about KAWS's exhibition at Parco Gallery in Tokyo. Sponsors include Supreme and A Bathing Ape, at the time cult brands that have now become fashion and culture powerhouses.
