In January of this year, the first part of the Coors x Huckberry Golden Hour Series was released. This three-part series highlights adventurous-minded individuals and their respective professions in an all-around celebration of exploration and hard work. The final Coors x Huckberry Golden Hour Series Part 3 installment has just dropped, featuring the work of Santa Barbara native and artist, DJ Javier, who has designed a capsule collection exclusively for Huckberry and Coors Banquet.
As an artist, designer, and surfer we see DJ’s hometown’s beach-oriented lifestyle and his Filipino influences reflected in his work where his designs are inspired equally by tattoo culture and vibrant street art. His playful and handcrafted images easily reflect his philosophy of working hard and creating art that anyone can enjoy. And work hard, he does. As the art director at Seavees, DJ is also the artist behind the art + design studio Bayan Surf Club and the clothing line Canto.
The capsule collection DJ has created for Coors and Huckberry includes a couple of limited edition tees, some matching hats, and a pair of trunks to keep you beach-ready. Available in a range of different colors, each garment sports unique co-branded details along with custom graphics made for the collab. What’s more, Javier has also hand-painted a 1-of-1 surfboard crafted by DJ’s good friend and renowned shaper, Joseph Yee. Sealed for completely waterproof performance, it makes for a rare piece of art that you can actually ride, too.
DJ cares deeply about his life-long hometown and the people that make it a diverse, creative, and vibrant place. He also believes in giving back to his community as evidenced by his commitment to having 10% of all proceeds from his capsule collection go to the Wilderness Youth Project, a Santa Barbara-based organization that DJ partners with to get kids from all walks of life involved in nature through education and experience.
