WACKO MARIA unveils a new set of Hawaiian style shirts for the season with its latest series of Basquiat shirts designed to honor the artist and his iconic work. The capsule is full of lightweight designs that are ready for the season adorned in illustrative prints that apply all over.
The shirts spotlight three of the artist's works including the iconic Untilted (Loans) piece, which is a depiction of Basquiat's crown logo, bar emblems, and a distressed robot head. The others include letters and symbols that are applied in the palette of black, off-white, and blue. The silhouette boasts the brand's signature trim cuts with the slits on the side, notched lapels, and clear buttons.
