Meet The Aloha Spirit Capsule For
Spring Summer 18
Lightning Bolt has welcomed a French surf artist to design a special
collaborative capsule collection of off-white tees ALOHA SPIRIT.
Anthony Faucheux, aka XLR8, is a 33-year-old illustrator and designer,
based in south west of France, whose distinctive style, fresh aesthetics
and imaginative skill are internationally recognized.
Surfer from the very beginning, Anthony naturally turns his intuitive work
towards the surf imaginary to express himself.
After studying arts and graphic design, Faucheux took work as Art
Director in a graphic studio. Bolstered up by this experience, he
decided to work as freelancer to perfect his illustrative personal style.
Since then, hes been featured in many art exhibitions and successful
commercial art.
Anthonys natural connection of surf and art made it natural for him
to capture the energy and vibe of surfing and the surf community of
the Lightning Bolt heritage brand. The result is a genuinely unique soul
artwork: stunning compositions of clean and fluid shapes with linear
contours taking precedence over smooth color combinations.

Anthony Faucheux Captures
Lightning Bolt Spirit
Lightning Bolt has always been a cult brand for me,
associated to surf legends that made and still make
me dream. When I was younger I used to watch
surf movies with these guys surfing powerful waves,
with their insane style, on boards with the Bolt.
To be like them, I remember having drawn a
bolt with a marker on my very first surfboard
it made me feel like one of crew!
But beyond this, Lightning Bolt represents for me the
essence of surfing, without the surplus just the essential!
And it was this spirit that inspired my artwork for this
collaboration. Simple, powerful and timeless visuals.
The very essence of surfing, just as it was fifty years
ago, and as it will certainly be found in 50 years
Sessions between friends, waves, boards
fashion is ephemeral, but the surf spirit
remains. Just like Lightning Bolt.
