Commissioned by Puma to create artworks in celebration of African football, Kehinde Wiley headed to his home continent to meet Africa’s football greats. Inspired by the richness of the continent, the New York-based artist created gigantic brightly-coloured portraits, which Puma then drew on to design their latest range, the Puma Africa Collection. Issue 19 of one small seed features this creative collaboration, centring a fashion spread entitled ‘Afro-Gazing’ on the vibrant collection.
