Spring lookbooks are out and our friends at Akomplice are pushing the creative boundaries. For their latest lookbook, Akomplice traveled to Brooklyn to get up with a couple key artists from The BEASTCOAST movement: Pro Era's Kirk Knight, Flatbush Zombies Erick Arc Elliot, and Phony PPL's Elbee Thrie. These three were hand selected by young upcoming photographer Jessica Rose Lehrman as fitting candidates to represent Akomplice's Magic Plant series. Each piece of clothing portrayed is printed with fauna that is either stimulating, psychedelic, euphoric, or in some cases all three. While the visceral interpretation of the Magic Plant line is apparent through psychedelic filters and photographic after effects, the connection is deeper in that each of these artists stand for progress in their own right. This type of avant-garde lookbook where the focus is equal parts subject, clothing and filters, holds true to Akomplice's ethos of evolution through innovation. Whether it's hallucinogenics or deep meditation, Akomplice firmly believes in tapping into a deeper consciousness which they depict through the Magic Plant lookbook. If the Magic Plant Series is sold out at your go-to AK Stockist, don't worry, Akomplice has got you covered and will be dropping new exclusive styles and colorways this Friday at 12am on the Akomplice webstore.
