COLOR CODE was unveiled last year as a product collaboration initiative that supports Black and minority brands to create capsules alongside The Whitaker Group's retail brands. The latest works with Awake NY and A Ma Maniére by blending together different cultural aspects, turning its attention to DC, Atlanta, New York City, and Houston. There are nine pieces that make up the capsule and it is designed with inspiration from the 90s and the athletic wear of the time, specifically the ones that were worn at Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
