Orlebar Brown x Jon Frank Menswear

Beachwear Brand Goes After More Photographers

Swimwear and lifestyle brand Orlebar Brown has applied the work of Australian photographer Jon Frank to its clothing, following on from a similar collaboration with Condé Nast Traveller. Photos taken from Frank’s Surf Photography series have been applied to Orlebar Brown’s OB Classic Bulldog shorts, Tommy t-shirt and Morley sweatshirt for men. The prints feature a graphic interpretation of wind and water, for which the award-winning talent earned the nickname The Artist of The Ocean, in pink, blue and grey colour ways. It follows on from a partnership with UK magazine Condé Nast Traveller, unveiled last month. At the time, editor Melinda Stevens said: “I’ve always loved Orlebar Brown even before we started working with them. Their outlook has always been chic and sassy. And now we get to have a world-class Condé Nast Traveller photograph swathed across our bums. Happiness.” In a statement discussing the original project, Orlebar Brown founder Adam Brown added: “Travel, exploration, fun and adventure are integral to Orlebar Brown…” The Orlebar Brown x Jon Frank collection is available to buy online now, priced at £85 for t-shirts, £175 for sweatshirts and £195 for shorts.
