Birth of grunge immortalised in Kr3w collab with seminal photographer Charles Peterson
Californian streetwear brand Kr3w has teamed up with seminal Seattle photographer Charles Peterson to produce a new collection as part of their ‘Rights Refused’ ongoing collaboration series.
As a young man in Seattle in the 80s and 90s, Peterson witnessed the evolution of the Northwest grunge scene firsthand. And he captured it unflinchingly in dramatic black-and-white images.
To celebrate the collection Kr3w have also produced a video (see above) where they visit Peterson at home and quiz him on his photographic journey.
Here are some of his iconic images.
The Charles Peterson x KR3W RIGHTS REFUSED collaboration for Spring 2015 is available at Slam City now.
