HVW8 x Ahearn
This tee marks the beginning of HVW8’s collaboration work with legendary writer/director Charlie Ahearn.
Ahearn may be best known for his film Wildstyle, a documentary known worldwide as one of the first film releases to showcase 80’s hip hop culture in it’s rawest form. Wildstyle and Ahearn really need no introduction for those schooled in New York history and original hip hop. HVW8 is working with Charlie to hand pick exclusive images from his photo archives for future releases. Stay tuned for more.
