What do Luke Skywalker<\/a>, artist Chris “Daze” Ellis<\/a>, and NYC’s Houston Street have in common? They’ve all been recently involved with urban chic fashion brand rag & bone<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n From its origins in New York in 2002,\u00a0rag & bone became cool quickly\u00a0by combining British heritage with sleek\u00a0modern design. Today, the brand has become synonymous with\u00a0classic easy to wear clothing while incorporating edgy understated New York aesthetic. Inspired by an aspiration to create beautifully constructed clothes, rag & bone honors the importance of quality, expert craftsmanship and attention to detail\u00a0in its stylish and sharp clothing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n rag & bone operates 26 stores worldwide, ten of which are in New York City. In July 2010, the brand opened a store on 73 E. Houston Street in trendy Nolita. Marcus Wainwright, CEO, Founder and Creative Director is a big supporter\u00a0of the arts, so when the store opened\u00a0near\u00a0a large blank wall adjacent to the entrance, he knew it would\u00a0be a perfect mural haven. And just like that, “The Houston Project” commenced.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
