YOU BETTER SURRENDER
Give in to Conquer. Alla scoperta di Conquer.

A bleeding finger, the skeleton of Siamese twins
enjoying a fag and several drinks, the open jaws of a
shark seconds before attacking a female bathing
beauty. A kind of menacing but very colourful tooth
and a very sexy headless woman's body wearing
stockings and a corset. Images that make you think and
laugh and that at the same time challenge you. Welcome
to the somewhat daunting imagery created by Conquer, a
very interesting new London based design collective.
The British division of Carhartt, numerous musicians
and even the BBC have already spotted the graphic
ability of the two guys who recently launched the
label. Two blokes with a fine arts background, Central
Saint Martins in London to be more precise, and
antennas perfectly tuned in to what's happening on the
streets.
The inspiration comes from everywhere: music, sports,
films, popular culture, literature, and - hold your
breath - even philosophy. These are not ordinary,
run-of-the-mill, average tees, hoodies, sweats, and
limited edition art pieces.
