Over the last few years I have been working in collaboration with Last Resort AB developing a capsule of new soft + hard goods. Working along side Pontus Alv on this collection has been an exciting exchange of creative ideas. In the creative industry we rarely get develop our ideas with out compromise, down to the detail with independent people, brands, and organizations. Working with Pontus, Daniel and the rest of the crew at Last Resort was just that. Big thank you to Pontus and the LRAB crew for trusting the ideas and putting this on..
We launched the Capsule + Art Expo on June 14, 2023 at Noah Clubhouse in Tokyo, Japan. Big thank you to the entire team for putting this all together with a strong level of organization.

As our quest for freedom continues it is clear that our journey is heading inwards rather than outwards. It is first and foremost found within the confines of our own minds, as an idea - a state of being that is the basis of our creations. So how do we manifest these thoughts in the physical world? Our collection with Mallorca based Artist Julian Smith (b.1979, San Diego, California) is our attempt at conveying this sense of freedom in a tangible way. Multifunctional items made for everyday life, something useful to simplify our existence. Shoes, Shirt, Socks, Bag and a Sketchbook.The Last Resort AB & Julian Smith collection is the result of a natural and instant connection between Pontus Alv and Julian Smith. A creative match made in the Balearics. Julians boundary breaking artistry combined with a mutual sense of attention to detail and referential background is at the core ot the collection. A drop ot nostalgia and functionality rounds off the details to something we are proud to present. "Keep it simple with A and B, let others have X,Y and Z" - Julian Smith
