Chrome and Ricky Powell collaborate on Photobomb Messenger bag

  • Ron 

After quitting his job at the Frozen Lemonade stall back in 1985, Ricky Powell, the self-proclaimed “Lazy Hustler”, took his Minolta AF down a path where celebrity and debauchery meet. From Cindy Crawford in the bathroom to Andy Warhol on the streets of Brooklyn, the born and bred New Yorker is known for his uncanny ability for being in the right place at the right time.

Early in his career he worked as a messenger to make ends meet, so Ricky was stoked to “photobomb” Chrome’s iconic Citizen Messenger with his photos. He asked them to make the inside of the bag purple, the color of royalty, Ricky’s favorite color. A custom patch based on his iconic hand radio commemorates this project.
