2009 Spring/Summer t-shirt line from polish streatwear brand Turbokolor hits the stores now.

Turbokolor was established in 2007 in Warsaw, Poland by graphic designer Pawel Swanski Kozlowski.
Swanski:

“I’ve been working as a graphic designer for various companies for a while, as well as continuing to do non-commercial art. At some point, I felt an urge to create a special platform, where I could publicize art, connect with other artists and, most of all, offer my ideas to people in the simplest and most enjoyable way. This is how TURBOKOLOR came to life. We aim to design comfortable, nice-looking clothes that make you feel good when you wear them.”

Turbokolor is not a corporation. It remains an independent company created with sincere enthusiasm and love for our childhood inspirations and joy of life.

Swanski:

“We like to travel and socialize, so that we don’t tend up working in a vacuum. For this reason, we invite our foreign friends to work with us, and this resulted in some marvelous and fun collaborations with other brands and popular artists.”

So far, Turbokolor has cooperated with artists like Jeremy Fish, Will Baras, Jordae and brands like Akomplice, Foreign Family, Official, or Hessenmob.

Here is the outcome of collaboration with the guys from Akomplice: the Bannedana t-shirt.

All products are now avaliable through their website now!
