From Kickflip McTwists to luxury clothing.
Tony Hawk is already a legend in the world of skateboarding; now, he’s the most surprising celebrity to launch his own fashion label, Tony Hawk Signature Line.
“I think skating has permeated so much of culture and fashion over the past few years, with the success of Supreme and Palace and things like that,” Hawk, 50, told Hypebeast at the collection’s launch during Paris Men’s Fashion Week.
Added the newly-minted designer: “I think it’s great. I never thought that we had to keep skating underground to keep it cool.”
Hawk’s initial offerings from his Signature Label will include T-shirts, hoodies, flannel button-downs, jackets, bowling shirts and carpenter pants with pops of tie-dye and fluorescent green. “We’d never done anything so high-end before,” the athlete explained.
Certain pieces will also feature personal photographs from Hawk’s archive, including an image of him dressed as a devil on Halloween in 1974 — the first time he ever set foot on a skateboard, and the same deck that now hangs in the Smithsonian.
