SATURDAYS NYC TAPS PHOTOGRAPHER TIM BARBER FOR NEW CAPSULE COLLECTION

Saturdays NYC has announced its collaboration with celebrated photographer, curator and designer Tim Barber.

The capsule collection consists of four graphic T-shirts—two short sleeve and two long sleeve—and will feature prints exclusive to Saturdays from Tim Barber’s New Blues series.

“New Blues is a continuation of a project I started in 2015, experimenting with cyanotype prints,” said Barber. “While I was in Tokyo doing a show of the first Blues series, I ran into the guys from Saturdays in the lobby of the hotel and invited them to the opening. They ended up coming and digging the work so we stayed in touch and when I had finished the second series, New Blues, we decided to collaborate on a series of shirts with some of the new images. We will launch the new shirts, a zine and poster and show a selection of the new works in the Saturdays store in SoHo this week.”

“I have been a big fan of Tim’s work for a long time, it was a twist of fate meeting in Japan and learning about his work with the Blues project,” added Colin Tunstall, one of the co-founders of Saturdays NYC. “We’re excited to have the opportunity to work together in creating these T-shirts, the zine and the art show at our Crosby store will tie everything together.”

The collection will range in price from $55.00 to $70.00 and will be sold exclusively online and at U.S Saturdays locations on July 19 and at all international locations on July 20.
