KR3W Rights Refused: Charles Peterson

 

 KR3W have linked up with revered music photographer Charles Peterson to celebrate his role in immortalising the birth of grunge in this concise capsule collection.

The Rights Refused programme hand picks artists, musician’s and craftsman who have gone against the grain, choosing to do things their own way and because of that have made an impact through their art. This season, Kr3W look to Charles Peterson, whose raw images give an honest and gritty documentation of the grunge movement that inspired a generation. It’s a sincere tale of the rebellious spirit of grunge’s leaders and followers captured through the lens of Peterson.

Following the 20th anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s untimely death, Charles Peterson opens up his archives and applies four of his most iconic images onto tees, long sleeves, vest tops and cut and sew shirts, each of which tell their own story of a moment that changed music history forever.

KR3W X Eric Dressen ‘Rights Refused’

 

KR3W link up with skate legend Eric Dressen for their latest collaborative series entitled ‘Rights Refused’, inspired by individuals and those that live life by their own rules.

This season, Eric Dressen brings his creative approach to KR3W’s design, applying the iconic ‘bunny’ logo to a range of staple apparel pieces. Having turned pro at the age of 13, Dressen has enjoyed a hugely successful career spanning over 30 years, shaping both Cali bowl riding and street skating, he played a huge part in an era that would make skateboarding what it is today. Nowadays he expresses himself through another outlet, after picking up a tattoo gun he is now fully immersed within the craft and culture. Specialising in bold lines and traditional style’s, Dressen’s unique rendition of the ‘bunny’ can be found alongside KR3W type on tees, hoodies and a trucker hat, arriving in a simple black and white colour palette.

The limited collection will be available in the UK from the 1st of October. You can pick up your favourite pieces from the release at the following stockists;
