Named 'Chrome Angels,' this latest collection from Malcriadas Collective will spotlight a range of T-shirts and shorts, showcasing a fusion of artistic expression and streetwear flair. Founded by artists BB Velez and Rosa Rodriguez, Malcriadas Collective draws inspiration from their Mexican-American upbringing and deep appreciation for Chicano culture. Their artwork, now wearable through their [streetwear brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brigade), reflects a blend of cultural heritage and contemporary urban style. Malcriadas collaborated with Dallas-based artists Felipe Velez and Haze Soto to develop three designs. The lineup highlights a ballpoint pen rendering of the Malcriadas Collective logo prominently on white T-shirts and shorts.
