Fuji Rock Festival works with designer Atsuhiko Mori from Japanese fashion brand WACKO MARIA once again for its 2020 iteration of merchandise. The capsule is small, featuring only three pieces in total -- there is a coach jacket, a sweater, and a tee.
The festival joins forces with the Japanese brand every year to create its collection of merchandise and this year bears no difference. This time around, the color palette is rooted in black with some details in either yellow or white for a minimal design language. Some of the details include the "GUILTY PARTY" logo and "FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL WACKO MARIA 2020" which is complete in yellow with a white outline.
