Flynn Johnson features as the face of F!LTH, the latest collection from Dublin art and fashion label Worn X Bred.
Founded in 2020 by music producer and artist ROC, Worn X Bred began during lockdown through the upcycling of vintage sportswear into one-off pieces of wearable art. The label works with hand-painted designs, soft fabrics and limited-edition garments, with each hand-painted item made as a unique piece.
F!LTH continues that approach through three pieces: “Paddy Wagon”, “Peace Keeper” and “Keep’er Lit”. The collection looks towards Dublin street culture, local narratives around authority, and the visual language of resistance and social defiance.
Flynn’s involvement in the campaign sits naturally alongside the themes of his track “ÁINE”. The song turns the suspicion of stop-and-search policing into a hook, using dark humour and confrontation to examine over-policing, inherited mistrust and the way young people can be treated as guilty before anything is found.
The music video for “ÁINE” extends that world further, placing Flynn’s writing in direct conversation with questions of class, place, appearance and authority.
