Advisory Board Crystals Announces New Collaboration with Mr. Chow

Following this week’s Union LA t-shirt collaboration, Advisory Board Crystals has revealed plans for a new joint drop alongside legendary restaurateur Mr. Chow.

“More so than any other restaurant in history, Mr. Chow’s has been inextricably linked to the contemporary art world since its inception. A seemingly innumerable amount of legendary aspects cement the restaurant as an art world mecca and Michael, better known as M, as a cultural icon,” reads a statement posted to the official Advisory Board Crystals Instagram. “Michael Chow has even been the subject of many artworks from Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, David Hockney, Jean Michel Basquiat, Helmut Newton, and Ed Ruscha. Many of which can be seen within the Mr. Chow locations around the world. Stay tuned for release details.”

You can check out Advisory Board Crystals’ original Instagram announcement below. We’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available.

At the start of this month, Advisory Board Crystals joined Al Weiwei for a limited-edition line of handmade hoodies.
