maharishi has debuted a new collaboration with Kunle Martins (also known as EARSNOT) for a 10-piece capsule collection that celebrates the rainbow tag created to mark the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in New York City. Kunle Martins is the founder of the New York graffiti crew IRAK, which began as a group of art-obsessed friends. Arriving just after Pride Month in June, the collection comprises T-shirts, trousers, outerwear, headwear, and stickers with Kunle’s rainbow motif and an embroidered dragon.
The collection spotlights the ‘Original Snopants,’ which can be shopped in two loose and straight-fit styles. A long sleeve shirt shows off a bold tiger design and the IRAK logo, while the reverse features maharishi branding and a Lunar New Year design.
The maharishi x IRAK collaboration is now available on the former’s website.
