Next week, SVSV will be showing our latest designs at MAN in NYC. We are now devoted to producing styles that are unlike anything existing in the common market.

I can finally say I am happy in our “own skin” and not interested in producing designs to please any outside influence, other than our customers.

The New York Types Letterpress Art Show runs until Jan. 5, 2012 at the ADC Gallery. This show includes the work of ten KDU Core Members: Josh Vanover, Michael Spitz, Sara Blake, Magomed Dovjenko, PJ Richardson, Daren Newman, Wesley Eggebrecht, Typozon, Pete Leonard and Amenth (THMD).

SVSV continues to use art as a vehicle to expand and communicate its anti-mass agenda. This week, we debut three artistic collaborations designed to amplify the core craft philosophy that defines our brand. Our brand believes that the ideas we generate share equal weight with the objects we create. Art is the bridge that connects these two realities.

Thanks guys!

Clothing and objects represent only one part of the SVSV brand offering.

We understand that our audience will ultimately consume more images of our brand than our products.

With that in mind, we treat the associated artwork as an important element, holding as much weight, if not more, in the modern digital age. Our current exploration is the next step in our pursuit of traditional craft colliding with modernity. It is our personal resistance against an almost completely digital world.
