Fête de la Musique

This year OBEY Clothing is back as the official merch partner for the Down The Rabbit Hole festival for the third time.Down The Rabbit Hole (DTRH) is a vibrant three-day music and arts festival held annually in early July at 'The Green Hills' in Ewijk, the Netherlands. Known for its curated balance of renowned headliners and emerging talent, DTRH offers a full sensory and communal experience set in a stunning natural landscape.Attendees often describe the atmosphere as whimsical and intimate, with fairy-tale charm, serene woodland pathways, and a plethora of spaces to unwind. The festival’s strong commitment to art, sustainability, and well-being makes it one of the most imaginative and beloved events in the Dutch festival calendar. It is this eccentric spirit and intimate set-up which makes our partnership feel so aligned. OBEY is honoured to collaborate with DTRH on exclusive merchandise reflecting the festival’s unique energy. Moreover, we have special artist collaborations this year. We hope to see you at The Green Hills the first weekend of July; it’s going to be fun. To give you a first glimpse, we headed into the woods with our friend and talented photographer Mette Krah, who beautifully captured the magical transition from day into night.This collection is exclusively available at the DTRH festival.

It was only natural for us to collaborate with our friend Isma, owner of CHOP CHOP LOVE—a natural wine bar in the heart of Paris’s 10th arrondissement, in Strasbourg Saint-Denis.Isma, along with his two partners Julien Pham and Ramy Ndione, also owns one of our favorite Parisian cafés next door: La Chope des Artistes. So when it comes to all things food and wine, we listen to Isma.For summer, we created a special orange sparkling wine from La Sorga, with a label designed by Paris-based artist and CHOP CHOP crew member Wu Yué. Yué is a multidisciplinary artist originally from Beijing who moved to Paris at the age of 8. He works across illustration, painting, animation, directing, and drawing—mediums that all reflect the essence of his creative world.The collaboration also includes a t-shirt designed by Yué and a limited-edition, upcycled crossbody wine bag made by our friends from Unbegun. Available June 25th exclusively at CHOP CHOP LOVE and OBEY PARIS Flagship store.

James Kerr, a Charleston, South Carolina native now living in New York City. By day, he works as a sound technician, but skating remains a big part of his identity. James got his tattoo after watching the OBEY Giant documentary. The story of Shepard Fairey, a fellow South Carolina native, struck a chord with him. The hometown connection and artistic inspiration made it an easy choice for James to commemorate the influence with a tattoo inked by a friend. Check him out as he shares the story behind his OBEY tattoo.
