Chinatown Market works in collaboration with [Grateful Dead](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grateful-dead-wines) once again and this time, the duo draw inspiration directly from the Steal Your Face album cover. The album was originally launched back in 1971 and the primary focus is the skull emblem.

The duo work together and infuse the iconic Smiley Face motif blended together with the skull to detail across a selection of [streetwear silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gdc-x-hysteric-glamour). This includes sweatpants, shorts, knitwear, hoodies, and more. The lifestyle items include a dog bowl, a key tray, keychain, sleeping bag, a mug, rounded out by a set of stickers. One of the most notable items of the [collaborative capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-market) is a hoodie. The base foundation features a light purple tie-dye print that is details with a graphic at the front.
