Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All (or OFWGKTA) is a popular hip hop collective comprised of musicians and designers. Its clothing label 'Golf Wang' ('Wolf Gang') has seen much success in past releases (skate decks, t-shirts, hoodies). The team has debuted its Fall/Winter 2013 collection comprised of button-ups, beanies and hoodies.
Where much of new streetwear for Fall/Winter 2013 is comprised of slim-fit camo and floral designs, Golf Wang has released its designs in a series of wildly fluorescent colors (pinks, aquas, oranges), in loose, relaxed fits. The designs are directly inspired by the interests of the artists themselves: skateboarding, marijuana and hip-hop.
The new Golf Wang collection is sure to receive nods by insider Wolf Gang, skateboarding and new-age hip hop fans.
