The highly anticipated A$AP Rocky GUESS collaboration will be on shelves in the coming months, but exclusive images of the line have been released. The collection features throwback looks that were handpicked by the fashion-forward rapper himself. As a fan of the brand since the 90s, A$AP has chosen to bring back some recognizable styles and silhouettes including oversized denim jackets, tailored denim overalls and varsity-striped tees.
Textures and colors will also be reminiscent of the past, with the use of blue acid washes, tencel fabrics and pinstripes. Additionally, expect to see GUESS-branded crop tops and varsity jackets featuring the iconic triangular logo on the back. The collection will be available for men and women with a few signature pieces constructed specifically for the collaboration.
