John Waters & Seth Bogart Collaboration Coming October 23
Visual artist and DIY music legend Seth Bogart and iconic filmmaker and “Pope of Trash” John Waters today announce their official new fashion collaboration, coming October 23rd via online retail store wackywacko.com and select retail outlets. Featuring a melange of “filthy” references to Waters’ highbrow underground aesthetic and Bogart’s unmistakable etchings, new items include long & short sleeve tee shirts, crewnecks, hats, buttons & enamel pins, backpacks, tote bags, pillow cases, bathmats, hand towels and… of course the requisite “He’ll Make You Sick!” barf bags.
Bogart and Waters first met eight years ago at Mosswood Meltdown, a punk music festival in Oakland, California, where Waters has hosted and Bogart performs often with his band, Hunx & His Punx. The two most recently collaborated in 2023, Bogart creating an exclusive collection celebrating Waters’ “Pope of Trash” show at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles, with many items repeatedly selling out throughout the run of the exhibition
Waters shares, “I don’t know whether to call the line “norm-core for nutcases” or “hate-couture” but Seth Bogart has captured my smutty sartorial splendor and given a whole new meaning to the term ‘rag trade’.”
The new John Waters collection designed in collaboration with Seth Bogart and Wacky Wacko drops October 23 at 9AM PST at www.wackywacko.com, with select retail partners to be announced soon.
John Waters is a renowned filmmaker, writer, and photographer, known for his cult-classic films like Hairspray, Pink Flamingos and Serial Mom.
Seth Bogart is the frontman of Hunx & His Punx and a visual artist, whose work has been exhibited at Jeffrey Deitch Gallery, MoCA, Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, Santa Barbara Museum of Art, FIERMAN and many more.
Wacky Wacko is Seth Bogart’s art and fashion store, where products such as t-shirts, ceramics, and towels show off a camp-meets-punk style.
