Advisory Board Crystals is a US streetwear clothing label based in Los Angeles, created by Remington Guest and Heather Haber in 2015. They create exclusive limited-run pieces[1], the profits from many are donated to different charities. These have included the Wikimedia Foundation, Albert Einstein's International Rescue Committee,[2] and the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation,[3] amongst others.
History[edit]
The company was started in 2015, after Guest and Haber met in an Uber car share.[4] Despite not knowing each other before, they had both previously worked for LA-based fashion label Band of Outsiders.[1]
Projects and styles[edit]
Advisory Board Crystals' styles mix classic Hollywood and 60's tropes like tie-dye, with new age cosmology, streetwear and internet culture.[1]
The brand is notable for collaborating with various high profile media figures including the US rappers Lil Wayne[5] and Migos[6], and the Chinese activist and artist Ai WeiWei.[7] They have also worked with Guess Jeans[8] and produced 50 hand-dyed t-shirts with (now closed) Parisian fashion retailer Colette.[9]
In August 2018 they released a long-sleeved t-shirt in association with Wikipedia, with profits going to the Wikimedia Foundation.[10][11] Featuring the Wikipedia logo with the words 'Internet Master' emblazoned above and below it, the original design sold out within two days of its launch.[12]
Later that year they released another Wikipedia-themed line, this time with Lil Wayne involved.[5] The rapper had previously referenced Wikipedia in a promotional video for his 2018 album, Tha Carter V, in which he said 'If you don't know my birthday, Wikipedia does. Wiki me, bish'.[13][14] ABC used this clip in their promotional material for the run.[15] The 'maximalist' shirt design featured a collage of various pop culture topics related to Wayne's Wikipedia page, and the links between them.[16]
