# Artist-Released Limited Edition Tees Elhaus Works with Dwiky on an Exclusive Release at a Pop-Up By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-08-19 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-edition-tees References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2019/8/elhaus-pop-up-store-virgil-normal) & [shop.elha.us](https://shop.elha.us/) A range of graphic-adorned limited edition tees is the result of a collaboration between Jakarta-based streetwear brand Elhaus and local artist Dwiky. The offerings communicate "themes of maturation and progression." The design elements of the apparel briefly touch on concepts of time, adding a subtle intellectual twist to fashion. The precision-based illustrations evoke an interesting aesthetic that is mesmerizing and mathematical in its nature. The limited edition tees were made available to eager customers through a temporary pop-up store at Virgil Normal in Los Angeles, California. This mode of retail has proven to be quite beneficial, especially to small brands who do not possess a permanent location. The temporary activation was open to the public on August 17th, which "coincidentally falls on the same day as Indonesia's Independence Day."
