Streetwear imprint The Hundreds works in collaboration with Tristan Eaton, a visual artist to celebrate his detailed 'Universal Monsters' mural in California. The intricate mural can be found at the backlot of [Universal Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/topologie-x-universal-works) and the collaboration features a series of clothing.

This includes streetwear silhouettes in the form of [graphic tees and hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-more-sleep) as well as a tote bag. Bobby Hundreds states, "We love working with [heritage brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hundreds-and-tetris) that people have connected with for generations, and it doesn’t get more nostalgic than Universal Monsters. It has been a dream to work on this project and see Tristan’s incredible mural and these products come together.” The collaborative capsule features the bold and bright graphics of the artist and the iconic structures by the streetwear label. The entire range is set to drop on October 7th.
