Wu Tang Clan's Wu Wear made its first debut back in 1995 and was discontinued in 2008 to only be revived once again last year. The hip-hop clothing label continues to be wildly influential as it represents one of the first-ever lines centered around the hip-hop culture. Wu Wear is now introducing its Spring/Summer 2018 collection full of cut and sew items and a brand-new line dedicated just to women -- it is full of bodysuits and crop tops.
The overall collection sees a range of apparel adorned in the signature Wu Tang visual accents and lyrics, with a highlight on the highly recognizable globe logo. Some pieces in the series include a black and yellow tonal varsity jacket constructed from leather, color-blocked hoodies and branded shorts. The Wu Wear SS18 collection is now available at Barneys New York, Zumies, Urban Outfitters and online at Wu Wear.
