London-based Nigerian artist Olaolu Slawn has recently unveiled a collaborative collection with streetwear brand FTP (F*ckThePopulation). This partnership merges Slawn’s distinctive artistic flair with FTP’s rebellious streetwear ethos, resulting in a limited-edition capsule that includes graphic tees, hoodies, and hand-painted denim pieces. The collection prominently features Slawn’s signature graffiti-style clown motifs and the provocative “F*CKSUBI” slogan, a playful twist on his well-known “F*CKSLAWN” tagline.

The collaboration was officially launched at FTP’s flagship store, with an exclusive in-store release preceding the global online drop. Fans and fashion enthusiasts lined up to secure pieces from the collection, particularly the 50 bespoke hand-painted denim items, each uniquely designed by Slawn. The online release saw high demand, with many items selling out rapidly, underscoring the anticipation and excitement surrounding this partnership.
This venture with FTP adds to Slawn’s impressive portfolio of collaborations, which includes projects with brands like Ksubi and The Skateroom. Beyond fashion, Slawn continues to influence the art world through various mediums, including his East London café, Beau Beau’s, which serves as a creative hub for local artists. His multifaceted approach to art and design consistently challenges conventional boundaries, solidifying his status as a dynamic force in contemporary culture.
