Lupe Fiasco's Trilly & Truly 2010 collection is full of symbolism because the rapper and now designer explicitly wanted his 2010 collection to mean something more political than the typical celeb clothing lines.
Symbolizing peace, anarchy and history, the collection not only looks good but speaks for itself on issues of the past and present. One t-shirt honors Martin Luther King Jr. and another defaces Hitler with the words "Death to Racism." Lupe Fiasco's Trilly & Truly 2010 collection shows off the artist's opinionated and strong personality and his ability to put together a strong collection.
