Cult graphic artist REILLY has teamed up with British creative collective, Guardians Of The Standard to present a range of super-premium cotton artisanal men’s t-shirts. Having developed an ever growing profile in the sphere’s of art and fashion, REILLY and Guardians Of The Standard have chosen to now offer his intricate and impactful work through his prints being applied to the highest quality jersey t-shirts and sweats.
Combining dynamic colour blocking, hand drawn and painstakingly rendered vector elements, then layering over tags, graffiti and found objects, as well as his own cartoon characters – this makes his work instantly recognisable in all its hypnotic variety.
Each piece within the range, fabricated from superior Pima cotton jersey and cotton/modal loop-back, features a tonal raised rubber logo and eight unique print options, which are carried in colourways of white, black or a pop colour of Emerald Green, Cardinal and Royal Purple.Â
‘Mozake’ is a jarringly colourful faceted skull, pushing the envelope on discharge printing with 14 colours, resulting in bright, most vibrant contrast, embellished with plastisol framing and a raised rubber print to the reverse.
Other styles include ‘R’ featuring the unique REILLY logo in foil and discharge print, ‘Clown’, inspired by François Fratellini, and his ‘whiteface’ character, the all-knowing, cocky and somewhat serious clown, artfully embellished with crystals, ‘Woop’ features a combination of  ’Reilly’ characters and all things Disney.
The Ndebele African tribe and their women’s love for art, beadwork and large mural paintings inspire ‘Bele’. Bright colours and bold graphics give their art a remarkable richness and vitality. ‘Girls’ is Inspired by the iconic, ‘I Love New York’ graphic created by Milton Glaser in 1977 and ‘Skull’ which features a crystal skull detail on front and back and reflects a combination of American tattoo art and images from El Dîa de los Muertos (Day of the Dead).
‘Totem’ is inspired by the monumental sculptures of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America. A range of lightweight full-sleeve sweatshirts is also offered, in solely midnight and black, and come in 3 styles, Muzzer, Mozake and Mickey R.
