The Los Angeles-based artist Matt McCormick is back at it. However, this time around, he blends art and streetwear for an eye-catching new capsule collection. The new lineup is part of his One Of These Days label. The entirely cut & sew range is produced and screen printed in Downtown Los Angeles. The collection pays tribute to the legendary Blues Rock musician Stevie Ray Vaughn.
Dubbed “Texas Flood,” the collection speaks to the current moment while opting for classic themes of Americana. Each piece features a vintage appeal that was designed to last. The clothing carries the same attentiveness to materiality seen in his art.
McCormick spoke about the collection and stated: “Texas Flood started as a follow up to our collaboration with Neighborhood, which finally allowed me to see the potential and possibility of what the label could be. Working with Shin and the rest of the Neighborhood team was such an honor, and it felt only right to hold ourselves to the same standard moving forward.” McCormick added, “We decided to look at that collection as the new starting point of the brand and to release smaller capsule collections before our full-fledged Fall/Winter collection.”
He also opened up about the inspiration behind the collection. The artist added, “Stevie Ray Vaughan has always been such a stylish individual, from his game-changing take on Blues Rock to his one-of-a-kind look, he has always been an icon that has stood out from the pack. I had the idea to build a capsule around a mythical dive bar and work with imagery and themes that related back to the watering holes that played such an integral part of my life. To me, the music of Stevie Ray embodies that look and feel perfectly, and giving a nod to my favorite album of his and him only felt natural.”
