MANNINO x B.BLAKELY (2018)
Inspired by the poetic beauty of early 1940s tattoos and their emphasis on the sensuality of the female form, Mannino partnered with local Brooklyn embroiderer Brian Blakely to create a capsule collection of provocative, empowering sweatshirts. Embellished with hand-made chainstitch patches, each custom design illustrates a classic pinup-girl posing proudly, flaunting the power of her feminine essence. "Me, Myself, and I" additionally features original tattoo art by Bushwick-based painter and tattoo artist Adam Krueger.
