Los Angeles-based streetwear imprint PLEASURES works in collaboration with musical development app WAV on an exclusive ComplexCon collection. The joint collection will be available exclusively at the ComplexCon event taking place on November 3rd and 4th in Long Beach, California. It is comprised of four limited-edition graphic pieces that draw design inspiration from the underground 90s grunge culture -- it is the culture that serves as the foundation of many leading hip-hop artists today.
The apparel boasts images taken by photographer and author Charles Peterson -- his work captures behind-the-scenes authentic snapshots. His work features artists such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Kurt Cobain. This also marks WAV's first steps into the fashion territory. The pieces in the new collection will be given away for free at the WAV booth at ComplexCon when attendees download the WAV app.
