HOUSTON & BOWERY, 1982
July 12, 2008
2008 marks the 50th anniversary of the life and work of Keith Haring. If in New York over the summer, pay homage to this 20th century art titan by checking out the re-creation of Haring’s famed 1982 mural at Houston Street and Bowery. This iconic work put the official graphic stamp on New York’s flourishing 1980s Downtown scene. And, it’s currently doing it all over again. Pay your respects this summer by looking your best downtown sporty and radiantly colorful. Green Ripstop hooded jacket (Topman), invisible-stripe shorts by Marc by Marc Jacobs (eluxury.com), fitted cotton ringer tee in crimson (Banana Republic), Nike Dunk High Premium sneakers (Urban Outfitters), and for your sexiest afterhours, stripe calf socks and gold baby rib briefs via American Apparel.
