# Frayed Rap Group Shirts These New VLONE Shirts Were Designed by A$AP Rocky and A$AP Bari By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-11-28 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-vlone References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2016/11/vlone-limited-edition-blackout-friends) & [vlone.co](https://vlone.co/collections/all) VLONE, a fashion label that was founded by some of the A$AP Mob's most prominent members, recently updated its offerings with a selection of exclusive new [VLONE apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-x-babymonster). Like the clothing that it has put out in the past, VLONE's latest pieces include a large letter "V" on the back, while the front boldly states "FRIENDS." Both the crewneck and the tee come in black and gray -- with the latter making up the statement graphics. While the t-shirt is simple in appearance, the [crewneck has a frayed hem](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neighborhood-x-chito) for a more rugged appearance. Both are made from 100% cotton and are available for a limited time only. Although the new VLONE clothing has a high price tag, A$AP Mob fans are willing to spend for the status that's associated with it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celeb Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fashion Label Collaborations:** Opportunity for fashion labels to collaborate with music groups and artists to create unique and exclusive apparel offerings. - **Rugged Clothing Aesthetics:** Opportunity for fashion labels to incorporate frayed and rugged details into their clothing for a more unique and bold look. - **Limited Time Offerings:** Opportunity for fashion labels to create exclusive and limited time offerings, appealing to customers desire for scarcity and exclusivity. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can collaborate with music groups for unique and exclusive clothing offerings, while incorporating rugged and frayed details for a more unique look. - **Music:** Music industry can collaborate with fashion labels to create unique apparel offerings for their fans. - **Marketing:** Marketing industry can leverage the appeal of limited time offerings in creating marketing campaigns and promotions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gaming Fusion Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valorant-x-fragment.md) - [Iconic Band Apparel Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freaks-store-2.md) - [Motorsport-Inspired Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aap-rocky-x-puma.md) - [Graphic Tee Rap Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/de-la-soul-x-levis.md) - [Rapper Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pav-nite.md) - [Dynamically Redesigned Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-blacked-out-collection.md) - [Legacy Artist-Themed T-Shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gap-1.md) - [Distressed Streetwear Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neighborhood-x-chito.md) - [Mid-Summer Streetwear Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/when-the-smoke-clears-collection.md)
