Legendary rapper Eminem collaborated with New York City-based denim label Rag & Bone on an exclusive upcoming collection. The capsule marks the brand's debut of the 'Icon Hoodie' designed by the rapper himself in a selection of three different colors. The highlighting detail lies in the graphic imprints that are stylized to reference Detroit -- Eminem's hometown. The collection sees a series of '313' prints, which is the area code of Detroit.
The collaborative collection also features a range of t-shirts adorned with imprints inspired by the rapper's signature lyrics. The Rag & Bone and Eminem capsule will be available at a pop-up in London on July 13th—in correlation to the ending of his tour—and online at Rag & Bone.
