New York City, — Tokyo is next up for Red Coles, the soul-inspired line of limited edition t-shirts and hoodies from Music industry impresario Eric Coles. New York, LA, San Francisco and Sydney are already wise to the collection inspired by recording legends Aretha Franklin and Isaac Hayes and all things cool. With witty line drawings of Franklin, Hayes and Otis Redding among others, and street-smart messages that keep it real while keeping it fashionable, the Red Coles line pays homage to all that is soulful and looks good while doing it.

Designed by Eric Coles in his Brooklyn, New York studio and produced by hand through a unique silk screening process, the Red Coles line reflects the spirit, soul and vibe of the best of pop culture. Dave Chappelle, Jody Watley and Maxwell are just a few who have chosen Red Coles designs.

Maxwell knows first hand of the power behind Coles’ creative passion. It was Coles that signed him to Sony and helped launch his multiplatinum music career. During Coles’ tenure as a record executive, he also gave creative direction to Sade, D’Angelo, Angie Stone, En Vogue and Toni Braxton.

Red Coles is available at fine retailers such as Ron Herman in Los Angeles, Fred Segal in Santa Monica, Nomads in San Francisco, Lane Crawford in Hong Kong, and The Atrium in New York City. The line will soon be available at Cassidy in Tokyo.
