In another series that commemorates some of pop culture's biggest fads, Stereo Vinyls released its Fall/Winter 2016 line which incorporates both the Wu-Tang logo and some characters from The Simpsons.
While many of the pieces are overtaken by one-toned fabrics, others are marked by bright coral and light pink colorways, making these pieces stand out especially. In order to pay homage to the Wu-Tang Clan, Stereo Vinyls includes the name and full track list of one of its most celebrated albums on the back of shirts and hoodies.
Meanwhile, Lisa Simpson is shown on the back of a light pink bomber jacket and Homer is on a military-green one. Other pieces from Stereo Vinyls' Fall/Winter 2016 collection includes "close-up imagery of an old-school, low-noise cassette tape," with this design coming from a collaboration with DJ Peggy Gould.
