For one of their AW09 artist collaborations, Obey have produced a limited series of t-shirts designed in association with photojournalist Al Rockoff - famed for his work during the Vietnam War and the Khmer Rouges' takeover of Phnom Penh, and portrayed in Acadamy Award winning film The Killing Fields. Rockoff was known for taking great risks to get pictures, at a time where any foreign journalist falling into the Khmer Rouge hands could expect execution. He almost died from shrapnel wounds in October 1974, near the strategic city of Kompong Chnang.
This can be viewed along with several new additions to our Obey AW09 collection, instore and available online now:- http://www.switch-clothing.co.uk/obey-duality-of-humanity-1-t-shirt-al-rockoff-2738-p.asp
