London-based fashion imprint LABRUM presents a new collection in collaboration with the Tupac Shakur Estate. The two present a joint collection that is designed for the Fall/Winter 2023 season, highlighting the work of Tupac's influential career.
He had fearlessly stood up against oppressive systems in place and was a strong voice for his community and this is captured once again by LABRUM by channeling London's rich culture and Black British community. Tupac's 'The Rose That Grew From Concrete' poem was also a focus for the new designs. The garments are detailed with emblems such as roses, which are meant to represent strength and resilience. It also has themes of authenticity, belief in one's self, and expression. It features workwear, hoodies, shirts, tees, cargo pants, and gilet vests.
