Bouquet 360 by Gorilla vs. Bear // Limited Edition

The cigarette bouquet Spanish pop star Rosalía gave Charli xcx for her birthday ended up in our creative director's front yard on the morning of August 4, 2024.  Bouquet 360 is a limited edition 60-page photo zine that documents the life of the unexpected cultural touchstone from that day through Charli's October 16 performance at The Forum in Los Angeles. 

By chance, TSS creative director David Bartholow also has the same role at Gorilla vs. Bear, the twenty year-old music blog from the web 2.0 era that has championed many of culture's most influential emerging artists and bands from their early beginnings. Since 2011, David and GvsB founder Chris Cantalini have been covering Charli xcx and collaborators in numerous capacities, and, for the authors, Bouquet 360 is as much about strange, inexplicable chance as it is the discovery of the famous Parliament-adorned birthday bouquet.
