MARKET and My Chemical Romance are the latest duos to work alongside one another as the two celebrate a 2000s theme this time around. It features elements that nod to the emo and pop-punk culture of the era through a range of new streetwear staples.
The capsule highlights a color palette of red and black throughout and spotlights the signature side hair look. This notably marks the second time that the two are joining forces and it is led by a hoodie followed by a checkered sweater, short sleeved graphic tee, and a long-sleeved graphic tee. The graphics that adorn the silhouettes include bows, arrows, spider webs, scary faces, and also a visual of Gerard Way along some of the apparel.
