Prior to the kick off of her second On the Run tour, Beyonce has dropped a new line of march that features visually striking imagery inspired by the Egyptian goddess Nefertiti.
The photo-heavy line is comprised of tees, long-sleeved shirts, jackets, accessories and more, offering every fan of Bey something simple to express their fandom. Standouts from the line include a vibrant orange shirt that's been printed with a collage of the songstress. Additional items include cropped shirts, plain white tees and more, all of which feature glamorous photographs of the star. Both artistic and fashionable, this line demonstrates the potential relationship between streetwear and fine art.
The collection can be purchased on Beyonce's website.
