When Andrea Crews invited graphic designer Pablo Cots to create a series of hoodies and T-shirts around the aesthetics and messages of Straight Edge movement, everyone felt giddy with excitement. After all, Pablo Cots is one of the most prolific graffiti artists/illustrators in the Paris street scene.

It was a match made in heaven. With Andrea Crews streetwear couture style and artisanal approach to fashion, fans for both can expect a bold, uninhibited and strong diversion of dress codes. Unsurprisingly, the Andrea Crews x Pablo Cots capsule collection did not disappoint.

First, Pablo Cots incorporated messages from the Straight Edge movement in hoodies and t-shirts. “Alcohol Sucks” and “Drug Free” became the mantra de rigueur. Pablo Cots also had fun hand-customizing the iconic Eastpak backpacks, in the manner of high school students, to accessorize the new school looks of the Andrea Crews show.
