Krink is a brand from New York and is a reference point for graffiti artists around the world. Its inks, sprays, and markers are the preferred ones of hundred and thousands of sidewalk artists to shape their art in the city by using those products. But, since some years ago, Krink has been entering in the fashion world and Craig “KR” Costello, its founder, has already used his designs to work with very famous brands, including Nike o Kidrobot.

Now, it’s time for Krink to collaborate with another of the big brands: Levi’s. Specifically, Levi’s Japanese subsidiary has been the one that has included this collaboration in a new collection for the Autumn-Winter 2009/10 season called “Levi’s x Krink”, which will be available for sale starting November 14.

If there is something that could be a distinguishing quality in Mr. Costello’s work to be used as a symbol of its brand, it is the “dripping technique” by taking advantage of  extinguishers full of ink. In the past, this technique has been used many times to redecorate the urban furniture of the city where Mr. Costello lives. He has been able to transform ink drips (which could be considered by another artist as mistakes) into his main sign of identity. Actually, his creations are now considered as creative pieces of work that merit special attention at the most important art galleries.

In the following video, you can see him while he is presenting some creations. We are sure that many people consider these creations as something more than just ink drips because the art is symbolic and meaningful to them.

And the Levi’s x Krink collection is also full of “ink” with casual and young items, including denim jackets, jeans, hooded windbreakers, and T-shirts. Here, we show you pictures of some products.
