The new Ed Hardy by Siberia Hills collection was recently unveiled and it is reminiscent of the earlier eras, specifically the early 2000s. The designs are rooted in art sensibility and a nod to the iconic label that thrived during the time - Ed Hardy.
Founder of Siberia Hills, Daf Orlovsky states, “We are in the middle of a Y2K revival, bringing back themes and imagery that made people excited 2 decades ago is energizing and recoiling at the same time. How do you reimage that essence for people to see the intended beauty in it again?” The capsule celebrates the tattoo artist's signature artwork seen across items such as hoodies, denim designs, and tees.
