Streetwear label PLEASURES drops its latest collection entitled 'Nagel Woman' in celebration of the late and great artist Patrick Nagel. The new range is released in collaboration with Nagel's estate and is comprised of four different prints drawn straight from the artist's work. The artwork is seen adorning a series of colored hoodies and tees alongside the label's branding details and a short blurb about the artist's work itself. Nagel gained popularity during the 70s and 80s and is recognized for his unique deco-style artwork, which often represented the female form.
His work is often seen as very risqué but was appointed by a plethora of labels including Budweiser, Lucky Strike, and Playboy to name a few. Some highlighting prints in the collection include the 'Panther Lady' and the 'Couple Getting Down,' which both appear of the yellow tee and orange hoodie.
