Kanye’s And North West’s Custom Airbrushed Clothes Are A Hit For A Reason...
Alan said when he got a request from Kanye’s team, although he’d been out of fashion for nearly 20 years, Pastrana’s designs caught the attention of the rapper’s camp and they wanted more. Alan ended up creating several pieces for them…
Now Pastrana is busier than ever. He’s done multiple designs for coats for North West and worked with designer Heron Preston on his Gap collection, which came out last month. He continues to work with both Preston and West, telling me that there’s more exciting stuff coming. Pastrana is right back where he started, making designs for clothing, and he’s totally good with that. “The cool thing about the whole situation is this: Kim [Schraub] was not kidding. I am known as the guy that painted Kanye’s shirt. At the time, I really wasn’t thinking about that. [But,] I am so busy now because of it. I am known as the guy that did this shirt,” he says.
