Com-Raid revolutionary streetwear and design

Andrew Lee is the creator of the invisible:man label plus California's Commissary stores. As streetwear becomes ever more vacuously mainstream Lee has maintained the raw honesty of his abrasive punk-soaked art. Free of trendy pretension his work has stayed fiercely personal and true to an outsider's way of life.

After a short hiatus Lee has revived invisible:man, recently opening a new i:m store in NY. I caught up with him to check where he's at and see where his creative interests have taken him.

This site is about streetwear and street art, especially when it has a revolutionary pulse. Streetwear has always been about standing out and looking good, but is it today too much about being 'fashionable'?

By ‘fashionable’ I’m not talking so much about streetwear’s aesthetics. Sure, it’s gone in a more preppy, nouveau riche direction of late. If in 2005 it was Fresh Prince corny, in 2009 it’s strictly Carlton Banks.
