BRIGHT & BOLD CLOTHING
Natty Paint was founded in May 2009 in Baltimore, MD and is currently based out of Brooklyn, NY. An amalgam of Brooklyn and Baltimore’s burgeoning visual arts and music scenes, Natty Paint combines these art forms and transforms them into a fashion statement. Bright colors, geometric forms, and the interaction between patterns and images all comprise the Natty Paint aesthetic.
The name “Natty Paint” conveys the alternative roots, image, and process of the company’s brand. “Natty” refers to the Baltimore based beer “National Bohemian” nicknamed by the locals “Natty Boh.” A fantastic coincidence-”natty”also means fashionable. All the designs are silkscreened individually by hand with paint.
The label has quickly gained a cult following in Baltimore and has continued onto Brooklyn. Natty Paint has been worn by famed musicians Oh Land, Animal Collective, Dan Deacon, Delorean, Crystal Castles, La Roux, The Rapture, Rye Rye, M.I.A., and Beach House during their performances as well as actresses Lucy Liu and Brie Larson.
What started as a silkscreened t-shirt venture has quickly grown into a contemporary ready-to-wear line. For our SS'12 collection, we have translated our signature aesthetic from graphic tees to a contemporary women's sportswear line. All the prints in our "Psychedelic Beach" SS'12 line have been drawn, painted, or photographed by hand and altered digitally to be custom printed onto silk, cotton, and jersey. Sources of inspiration include Jodorowsky's Holy Mountain, 1960's perceptual art, Peter Max, psychedelic light shows, kaleidoscopes, and trips to the beach.
Natty Paint also offers customized designs and silkscreening.
