Billabong’s LAB series collaborates with artists, musicians and pro surfers on exclusive capsules. After launching with a successful Andy Warhol tie-up and a Spring ‘18 Iggy Pop follow-up, LAB is circling back to Warhol and his partnership with Jean-Michael Basquiat for their third collection. In 1984-85 Andy Warhol and Jean-Michael Basquiat created a series of dynamic graffiti-esque works on canvas. The resulting images merged Warhol’s stylized iconography with Basquiat’s spontaneous application of oil and acrylic scrawled across each canvas. Billabong’s design team translated this visual dialogue onto boardshorts, T-shirts and accessories. High art? No. Cool boardshorts? Totally.
