Obey
OBEY Clothing was founded on the art, design and ideals of Shepard Fairey. What started with an absurd sticker he created in 1989, has since evolved into a worldwide street art campaign, as well as an acclaimed body of fine art and an international clothing & accessories brand.
The clothing is heavily inspired by classic military design, work wear basics, as well as the elements and cultural movements Shepard has based his art career on.
