6LACK works in collaboration with Chinatown Market on a new collection designed for Design Freestyle. Design Freestyle is a video series by the streetwear imprint. The rapper joins the brand to design a selection of essential silhouettes including some hoodies, sweatpants, tees, and shorts.
The collection is a true reflection of his personal style and it shows through the designs of the apparel items. 6LACK talks about simplicity in what he wears to keep a minimal design language. This is prominent through the streetwear items and he adds inspiration from his flaming hot sauce as well, which he talks about during his time on the series Hot Ones. Graphics that adorn the garments include fire emblems and chili peppers.
