of the ongoing Vinyl

Is Forever series

featuring

Rob Giampietro

On the heels of the successful first and second editions (designed by Human Empire and Andreas Samuelsson respectively), the third installment of Soundscreen Design’s Vinyl is Forever series features the design of New York based designer, writer, and teacher Rob Giampietro. This edition features organic and recycled garments from Alternative Apparel including crew neck t’s, 3/4 sleeve henleys, crew neck sweatshirts and oversized grocery tote bags. As always, the print run is limited, with the design never to be repressed once sold out.

“Like a lot of designers, I grew up obsessed with vinyl: first the music, then broad graphic expanse of the record sleeve. In my case, it was jazz albums, whose covers typically used witty concepts, bold graphic palettes, and knocked-out type. The symbol for paper that lasts forever is an infinity sign ringed by a circle. My design takes that symbol for a spin, suggesting a record that plays on an infinite loop.”
– Rob Giampierto

ABOUT VINYL IS FOREVER
Soundscreen Design is curating, manufacturing and distributing a limited line of t-shirts, hooded sweatshirts and tote bags featuring artists’ iconic interpretations of the phrase “Vinyl is Forever”. The quarterly series is intended to be the definitive merchandise series for vinyl junkies, differentiating itself from previous, poorly designed, cheaply produced, nostalgic attempts. Inspired by iconic visual slogans such as “I (heart) NY” and “Virginia is for Lovers“, and referencing music obsessives’ everlasting love of vinyl records, the series appeals to music, art and fashion fans alike. For avid music fans, vinyl has become both the format of preference as well as a badge of honor. Priced from $18-$40, the merchandise in this collection, is currently available at finer boutiques and music stores, as well as www.soundscreendesign.com.
