# Zine-Inspired Clothing Collections The Stacks Issue 01 Launch Initiated This Graphic Collection By Amy Duong | Published 2018-01-29 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stacks-issue-01 References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2018/1/blackeyepatch-beams-t-unite-on-graphic-capsule) & [beams.co.jp](http://www.beams.co.jp/item/beamst/t-shirt/11083966384/) In celebration of the official launch of the Stacks Issue 01 zine, the Tokyo-based brand [BlackEyePatch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackeyepatch-2) partnered up with [BEAMS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-4) T to create a graphic clothing collection. The collaborative collection is inspired by the Stacks Issue 01 publication and directly incorporates the artwork from the issue. The graphic visuals have been creatively implemented onto the series of garments such as t-shirts, hoodies and hats. Russell Maurice, also known as Gasius, includes his artwork as graphics in the collaborative series. The influence of both the apparel collection and the Stacks Issue 01 zine stems from the culture of hip-hop with the thematic setting of Tokyo. To debut the collection, there is a pop-up that is set at the [BEAM T Harajuku](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-2) location -- it will also serve as an exhibition and include artworks for sale. The Japanese pop-up location will take place from January 26th to February 4th. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Graphic Clothing Collections:** The incorporation of artwork from zines onto garments presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry. - **Zine-inspired Collaborations:** The partnership between brands and zines to create collaborative collections opens up avenues for disruptive innovation in the fashion and publishing industries. - **Pop-up Exhibition Experiences:** The combination of pop-up shops with art exhibitions provides a disruptive innovation opportunity for the retail and art industries. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** The incorporation of zine-inspired artwork onto clothing offers disruptive innovation opportunities in the fashion industry. - **Publishing:** Collaborations between zines and brands for graphic collections generate disruptive innovation possibilities in the publishing industry. - **Retail:** Pop-up exhibitions that combine art and retail create disruptive innovation prospects for the retail industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dragon-Infused Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackeyepatch-2.md) - [Special Order Collaborative Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2tone-jersey-collection.md) - [Zen Graphic Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikkyu.md) - [Illustrated Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasted-youth-x-tappei.md) - [Utility Tokyo Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackeyepatch-winter.md) - [Anime-Centric Graphic Shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-4.md) - [Film-Inspired Graphic Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-on-one-collection.md) - [Anime-Inspired Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-x-kaikai-kiki.md) - [Limited-Edition Designer-Forward Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-market.md)
