For this collaboration, Simone Bellotti worked with original graphics from Leo Mas’ personal archive to create a series of hats, bags and casual wear.
Featuring visual compositions from the ‘Pin-Up Records’ and ‘Muzak’ labels, as well as a 1987 tribute to the ‘Amnesiacs’ and a 1988 illustration celebrating the height of the Amnesia Summer of Love, the result is a selection of collector’s pieces for music and design fans.
