The collection consists of two original artworks Rexeisen, both of which incorporate his now conic demon-like figures. Rexeisen, who commonly goes by T-REX, created two prints designed for T-shirts specifically. These include a bright-red satanic woman and two figures smoking cigarettes while walking atop a gold-wired rim. The collection also includes a third item – a yellow trucker hat with a pastel-colored backdrop, which dons a black and white print of the same devil-like woman as seen on the t-shirt. This collection represents a recent trend within the fashion industry that see's contemporary artists working closely with major streetwear brands. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Artist-designed Streetwear:** Collaborations between contemporary artists and streetwear brands are increasing in popularity - **High-art Meets Streetwear:** Fashion retailers are incorporating more high-art elements and designs into their streetwear collections - **Capsule Collections:** Fashion retailers are releasing limited-edition capsule collections in collaboration with artists and designers ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Fashion retailers can partner with contemporary artists to create unique streetwear collections that appeal to a wider audience - **Art:** Contemporary artists can expand their audience by collaborating with fashion retailers and incorporating their designs into streetwear collections - **Retail:** Retailers can differentiate themselves from competitors by offering limited-edition capsule collections in collaboration with artists, providing unique products for their customers ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Illustrated Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasted-youth-x-tappei.md) - [Graffiti Artist-Collab Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ja-one-xtc.md) - [Playful Cartoon Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kenny-scharf-and-axel.md) - [Artistic Sneaker Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skechers-x-vexx.md) - [Experimental Streetwear Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ksubi-4.md) - [Graphic Collaborative Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/born-online.md) - [Limited-Edition Designer-Forward Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-market.md) - [Wearable Art Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-days-march-1.md) - [Sporty Collaborative Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/born-x-raised-1.md)
