Napoleon Leading the Army over the Alps Shield Patch

This 3.25 x 4 in. shield shaped patch features Kehinde Wiley’s 2005 painting Napoleon Leading the Army over the Alps, reimagined from Jacques Louis-David’s equestrian portrait, Napoleon Crossing the Alps.

Notes on Blue Silk Scarf

This limited edition silk twill scarf features Kehinde Wiley’s 2021 painting titled Portrait of Aissatou Dialo Gueye II, which is from the body of work that Kehinde developed during the period of COVID-19 in 2020.

As Kehinde describes them, "What follows are a series of portraits that I might consider friends and family of Black Rock."Aissatou Dialo Gueye works at Black Rock Sénégal. She is posed here wearing a dress by Senegalese designer Sarah Diouf, who is also a good friend and collaborator of Black Rock. The background pattern, wh......

Pink Pop Bandana

This limited edition cotton bandana features Kehinde Wiley's Portrait of Nelly Moudime II (2020), a painting from the body of work that Kehinde developed in New York in early 2019, exploring the continued resonance of 1990s hip hop culture in the city. The models from this body of work are people that Kehinde met on the streets of New York, particularly in and around SoHo. The model is named Nelly Moudime and she lives in New York. She has previously been the subject of two other Kehinde Wiley paintings — an oval painting from a series featuring models in classical European armor (Portrait of Nelly Moudime, 2019), as well as a group portrait (Portrait of Nelly Moudime and Najaee Hall, 2020).

Portrait of Issa Diatta II Beach Towel

Step into a world where history meets modernity with our exclusive beach towel featuring the dynamic background of Kehinde Wiley's Portrait of Issa Diatta II, 2021. This towel is a perfect blend of art, culture, and luxury, making it a must-have accessory for those who appreciate the finer things in life. In this painting, Kehinde Wiley captures Issa Diatta in a posture reminiscent of an 18th-century general overlooking a successful maneuver on the battlefield. With his chin held high and a sheathed sword in his left hand, Diatta exudes a timeless strength and confidence. However, his modern attire—a deep blue sweatshirt, a low-hanging gold chain, and purple and black wristbands—creates a striking contrast, making him a man out of time. The background features the intricate details of House of Hackney's non-conformist take on a traditional floral design, “Artemis.” Inspired by William Morris's work and Diana Vreeland's iconic 'Garden in Hell' room, this painterly print depicts Victo......

Portrait of Kaysy J. Gotay II Beach Towel

Immerse yourself in the intersection of art and luxury with our exclusive beach towel featuring the captivating background of Kehinde Wiley's Portrait of Kaysy J. Gotay II, 2022. More than just an accessory, it's a powerful statement piece that reflects Wiley's exploration of race and identity in a post-colonial age. Kehinde Wiley's painting employs the heroic visual vocabulary of European portraiture to depict a contemporary Black woman. The subject is portrayed as casually dressed yet undeniably commanding, with one hand on her hip and the other raised in a gesture of self-presentation. Viewed from below in a three-quarter view, she gazes confidently at the viewer, embodying strength and self-assurance. The lavish floral background in the painting draws upon an Indian design reproduced by Jean-Antoine Fraisse in his 1735 "Book of Chinese Designs taken from the originals of Persia, of the Indies, of China and of Japan." This intricate pattern creates stark visual and cultural juxt......
