Punk Flyers Become Streetwear
Album covers and gig flyers turn into wearable graphics. Japanese retailer UNDER R unveils an archive-based apparel capsule with San Francisco band Dead Kennedys. The collaboration carries the band's visual record over into present-day streetwear silhouettes. Shirts, jackets, caps, and socks make up the result.
The graphic source material is not limited to iconic album art alone. Rare live flyer imagery and collaged zine graphics are also used throughout the pieces, bringing three distinct archival formats—album covers, gig flyers, and zines—together in one capsule. It is a composition where past visual material moves onto the surface of contemporary apparel.
The neck label carries both the Dead Kennedys emblem and UNDER R's Old English branding together. The collaboration's identity is not confined to the graphics on the product surface but extends to the label as well. The collection launches August 22 at UNDER R stores and online.
