NY State of Mind by Bean Dip Clothing


I think I may have already mentioned that the guys from BDC released some new designs in a cotton filter a while back, but I really wanted to feautre one of their designs too, because I really like the direction they’ve taken recently. This hoodie continues their Artist Connection Series, I like how they get guest artists in to do designs, yet those designs stick fairly rigidly to the aesthetic and spirit of the rest of Bean Dip’s range.

To be honest, I’d never heard the quote on the hoodie before (”sleep is the cousin of death”), but I’ve taught myself to always google these things before writing a post so that I don’t end up looking like a jackass, and it paid off for me this time. It turns out that its an African proverb, which is probably how it ended up being in a song by Nas (a rapper I’ve barely heard of), and whaddya know, the song is called… “New York State of Mind.” So now we all understand the reference!
