424 on Fairfax launched a new collection designed for the Spring/Summer 2020 season with inspiration drawn from the iconic Wu-Tang Clan. The range of goods feature a series of streetwear silhouettes including a graphic tee and a puffer jacket to match. Both items are adorned in photography by the famous hip hop photographer Chi Modu.
The seasonal designs boast a monochromatic color palette with hues of black and white. This nods to the 90s and the strong culture of the Easy Coast to celebrate the Los Angeles brand as well. In terms of the designs, the jacket is made with a high collar with a padded lining and zipper enclosure at the front with slim hand pockets.
