TIGHTBOOTH started off as a skate team in 2005 and slowly grew to be a clothing brand as well -- it recently worked in collaboration with Japanese rapper KILLER-BONG. The two join forces to design a collection for the Fall/Winter 2019
season.
The main design language is rooted in technical layering and 90s inspirations translated through silhouettes such as baggy tees, sweaters, and coats to name a few. Notably, artwork created by KILLER-BONG is adorned throughout a series of sweaters and t-shirts in the form of scrawled graphics and bright hues contrasting against the muted base. Some pieces from the seasonal range that broaden the overall design horizons include the baseball shirts, overalls, and logo ring.
