In Rockaway, Queens, the Almeda Club is an expansive incubator for surfing, wellness, collaboration and community. Founded by Graham Hill and Joe Falcone, the unique members' club is home to saunas, surf lockers, a barber shop, after-school programs and, currently, an exhibition by the artist Edwin Bolta, titled PATH WEG CAMINO, featuring 18 paintings, an animated short, and a massive wood sculpture.
Ringing in the freshly-minted showcase, the club has inked a fashion collaboration with American workwear brand Stan Ray that's decorated entirely with Bolta's signatures. The line includes made-in-the-USA Double Knee Painter Pants and Shop Jackets, both of which utilize Bolta's special indigo dyeing process and employ local embroidery.
The artist's flagship "Flower" icon appears across each silhouette, while both the Almeda Club and Bolta Fabrications logos are embroidered on the back as patches. Down the line, graphic T-shirts take inspiration from the paintings in the exhibition, and a classic Bolta Fabrications hat makes room for the Almeda Club's signage.
Edwin Bolta's PATH WEG CAMINO is on view at the Almeda Club now through the end of July. The coinciding collection is currently available to purchase in the store and online. Take a look at the line in the gallery above.
