With an instantly recognisable style and a penchant for social activism, Keith Haring was an iconic figure in the ’80s New York graffiti and art scene. Cycling brand Chari & Co and the Keith Haring Foundation have recently collaborated to produce a line of clothing paying homage to the late artist. The collection includes t-shirts, hoodies, jumpers and coaches jackets, all imprinted with Haring’s distinctive imagery. The collection also celebrates New York – the vibrant city that is at the heart of Haring’s life and work.

Pieces from the collaboration will be sold exclusively at Beams Japan, and part of the proceeds will go to the Keith Haring Foundation. Established in 1989 by Haring himself, the foundation works to raise funds for AIDS organisations and educational programs.
