The Martine Johanna OBEY Spring 2013 collection combines classic OBEY apparel with the hand-sketched illustrations of Dutch artist Martine Johanna.
Showcasing Martine's beautiful feminine portrait sketches, OBEY highlights the hand-drawn feel of Martine's contemporary and realistic drawings. The designs feature Martine's hippy-inspired girls surrounded by luscious hair, butterflies, flowers and cosmic stars. Each item of clothing also incorporates tones of eyes, which are a trademark symbol of the OBEY brand. For those who prefer accessories, Martine also created several scarves and necklaces for OBEY featuring similar design elements. The Martine Johanna OBEY collection is fun, girly and certainly summer appropriate.
While OBEY chose mostly black and white renditions of Martine's drawings, she illustrates and paints magnificently in color.
