Bomb Story: When you look at designers' moodboards, they rip their references from past designs or popular trends. It's often very literal. Bobby worked a little differently in designing The Hundreds. Much of his inspiration is sourced from emotion and nostalgia. It's more about channeling a specific feeling and trying to replicate that in a modern context. A good example of that is the sound of the ice cream truck roving down the street. No matter how old you get, that jingle and the call of neighborhood children are like a time machine, evoking a particular sentimentality not often found elsewhere. There's also something hilarious about those derpy licensed-cartoon ice cream bars that never look as accurate as their packaging markets. | Background Story: Long before high-end streetwear designers were collaborating with fashion houses, The Hundreds designed a giveaway bandana screen-printed with a parody of the iconic monogram pattern. The letters have been flipped to “LA” to reference Los Angeles. And the circles are Solid Bombs. Bobby initially designed this repeating print as a desktop wallpaper and then it was used on an unreleased Married to the Mob T-shirt as well.
