@polaroid celebrates @keithharingfoundation with the drop of the limited edition Keith Haring x Polaroid instant camera. Decked out in iconic monochromatic prints and a bold red colour, the Polaroid Now i-Type throws a twist on the retro OneStep Point-and-Shoots used by the late pop artist in the 70s and stands for a “shared spirit of democratic creativity”, according to CMO of Polaroid Marta Martinez. Alongside the camera, a Color i-Type film pack of 12 unique, Haring-inspired designs have been released; perfect to capture and frame special moments within seconds.

Available online at the link in our bio.
