atmos LAB, a men's contemporary fashion label, recently joined with 'The Simpsons' franchise to come up with the Krusty Collection.

The Krusty Collection consists of a range of simple tees and baseball caps, all of which feature bold color combinations and statement graphics or embroidery. The tees come in two variations: one style that features a Krusty-obsessed Bart Simpson, who is shown in a selection of Krusty merchandise, and another that includes a minimalist Krusty logo. The shirts are available in four colors: white, red, black, and a deep indigo.

The hats include the clown's name on the front in sans serif lettering, while the backs feature embroidered logos of him. The Krusty Collection is set to drop on July 25th and will be available from atmos Tokyo.
