Union LA
Illustration and Typography
It was an incredible honor and source of pride to be commissioned by the trend-setting global brand, Union LA, to create a T-shirt design that immediately sold out in Supreme, Union LA, and Union Tokyo. The concept of the shirt was a mash-up of the classic movie Aliens and the iconic Outkast album, ATLiens. The creative team at Union LA came up with the concept of giving the alien a gold teeth grill, which was a bold and memorable choice. The typography was meticulously designed to match the vintage style of the 90's bootleg T-shirts, adding to the overall nostalgic feel of the design. Working with Union LA's creative director and staff was a fantastic experience, and it was a privilege to have our work recognized by such an esteemed brand. The success of the design was a testament to the creativity of the concept, the attention to detail, and the appeal to the brand's loyal fan base.
In addition to the original black T-shirt with a blue alien and green lettering, the design also featured a limited edition variation. This version featured a black and white alien on a pink and white tie-dyed shirt. The tie-dye effect added an extra layer of uniqueness to the design, making it even more sought after by collectors and fans alike. Both colorways sold out instantly and became highly coveted items in streetwear culture. It was incredible to see the design come to life in two distinct variations and receive such a positive reception from the community.
Working with Union LA was truly a dream come true. The opportunity to collaborate with such a prestigious and influential brand allowed us to showcase our creativity and passion for design. The success of the T-shirt design opened up many doors for us, leading to further collaborations with Union LA and other top brands in the industry. The experience of working with the Union LA team was incredibly rewarding, as they pushed us to innovate and think outside the box. The relationship we built with them became one of our most treasured and cherished partnerships. It was an experience that we will never forget, and we feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with such an inspiring brand.
