With summer here to stay all year round in Singapore, it’s always a good excuse to head to the beach for a dip in the cooling water. Get dressed in the most comfy of swimsuits and outerwear with Billabong’s second limited edition drop of Warhol Surf. We know. Since when was Andy Warhol a surfer guy?
Well, Billabong took a look through Warhol’s archives and as it turns out, his works were found to be inspired a lot by the surfing community, consisting of collections of photographs featuring surfers, tropical vintage motels, and beach scenes. These were then brought to life with Billabong’s take on the brand’s iconic boardshorts, bikinis, and complimentary products, all of which giving off a laidback and carefree vibe.
Some key pieces include Warhol’s Skull series, which sees the brand featuring the skull motif along with Warhol’s signature bold black and white mod stripes on a cut and sewn boardshort. The black and white effect on iconic objects are also seen on a washed geometric yardage print boardshort, while images from the Warhol archives were also deliberately printed on vintage washed cotton tees, with neon fade palm yardage created with photographs taken by Warhol.
You don’t have to be good in surfing to look like a surfer boy or surfer girl, but you can still dress like one with these beachwear staples from Billabong’s artistic collaboration with Andy Warhol. After all, it’s all about feeling the beach vibes.
Billabong x Andy Warhol, $19.90 for a trucker cap to $109.90 for a one-piece swimsuit, available now exclusively at Billabong, 313@Somerset. Billabong.com
