S1 E2: Slam Jam, The Collaborator

The Anthropology we dive into the movements and minds shaping culture today. In its first season, Fashion Anthropology, journalist Tiffany Godoy talks to the artist, designers and original street scene makers that surround the brand Slam Jam. Founded by Luca Benini in 1989, it started as an Italian distributor of Stussy, Carhartt and Nike. In 2018, they opened the art cultural space Spazio Maiocchi in Milan and Luca Benini alongside Matthew Williams created the brand Alyx. In this five episode series we immerse ourselves into the culture of Slam Jam. Where would Slam Jam be without collaborations? Whether it’s making stuff together, distributing it, managing production, true to their slogan, Slam Jam’s always connecting tribes of like-minded people across the globe. In episode 2, Tiffany talks to Telfar Clemens of Telfar, Giorgio Di Salvo of United Standard, and Fraser Cooke of Nike to learn more about the collaborations behind Slam Jam.
