About Thunders
Thunders is the latest project from Peter “Barnzley” Armitage – the co-founder of Child of Jago with Joseph Corré in 2007 and before that Zoltar the Magnificent and Acupuncture. In the 80s he was behind the bootleg, designer logo tee craze and remains something of a cult figure in streetwear design.
Thunders stocks Barnzley’s own Crossed Swords line, which debuts its Winter 2015 collection in-store on Dec 4 alongside the exhibition.
