Paul Pope, an artist known his “slopily brilliant” style in comics and graphic novels, is emerging in the fashion design world. Last year, he did the store art for the SoHo (NY) Diesel store. (Pictured). Recently, he was hired by DKNY to design a line of jeans.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Mr. Pope and the charming urban stalwart of a label met to discuss the possibility of working together, and within 6 weeks, the project was underway.
Mr. Nipon was impressed by Mr. Pope’s wide-ranging creative interests and his pointed technical questions about the line.
Some tasks Mr. Pope worked on are tee shirt designs and patterns for hoodies.

as you know i am a huge huge paul pope fan. one of my most prized possessions is my autographed first print copy of the first thb. i totally wanted to be HR Watson when i was in high school. his comics also introduced me to the music of nick cave when i was in 10th grade. sigh. here is his so so hip blog. be careful, though. he is so hip that you might get bruised if you brush by it too quickly. no padding–just straight up hip.
