Street art's latest entry into the fashion world comes in the form of the Saint James x André ‘Naval II’ shirt.
Saint James is partnering up with famed graffiti artist André for new apparel that will serve as the uniform for employees at Le Bain. The Saint James x André ‘Naval II’ shirt is a striped Breton shirt with a nautical theme that employs the colors white and blue. If you look at the top left-hand corner of the apparel piece, you'll notice André's signature, a 'Mr. A' character, wearing a sailor hat complete with its trademark 'X' eyes and wide grin. The right sleeve features a badge with a lifesaver that says 'Le Bain' on it.
There will only be 100 shirts produced, which will be available in three U.S. locations.
