Quiet Life have recently shot a new 'Studio Visit' look book with Katsuo Design, featuring the new collaboration capsule with Katsuo. Here are photos shot and words by Quiet Life director Andy Mueller -
Quiet Life is excited to announce the global release and pop-up event for their new "Jump On It" Capsule Collection with Japanese artist, illustrator, and long time friend Yusuke, of Katsuo Design. The Quiet Life and Katsuo Design are celebrating with a release party and pop up shop at The Slow Culture Gallery in Highland Park (Los Angeles) Thursday, October 30th from 7-10pm. Katsuo has put together a special installation of wooden sculptures & xerox posters for this event. The 19 piece collection features Katsuo’s curvy characters that are reminiscent of 60’s pop art adorned on custom woven shirts, tees, socks, bucket and 5-panel hats.
 Each season QL likes to invite one of their favorite photographers to do a Lookbook for us, but this season founder Andy Mueller shot the lookbook in Katsuo’s Chinatown (Los Angeles) studio. Mueller stated “I’ve been friends with Yusuke for over ten years, showing in art shows together all over the world. This marks the first time we have been able to collaborate directly, and I am excited to release this collection here in Los Angeles at the Slow Culture Gallery.“
