The Human Experience: A Guide to Handmade Creativity

Take in a conversation with Imperfects founder Michael Lynch as he walks us through his recently designed capsule collection that focuses on asymmetry and its relation to his everyday human experiences. See how his work comes together by marrying all three of his art forms: surf craft, skateboards, and apparel. The DNA of Imperfects’s brand is defined by the many artists that Lynch interacts with and is inspired by on a daily basis. He works to collaborate with artists across many different mediums, to keep the creativity and vulnerability flowing.
