[WACKO MARIA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mr-brothers-cut-club) has debuted a range of five distinct Hawaiian-style shirts that feature the art of Jean-Michel Basquiat among other patterns and motifs. The collection highlight is a shirt that has Basquiat's 'Untitled (Loans)' painting printed on the airy button-up shirt. The painting is a common example of [Neo-Expressionist art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gap-1), using Basquiat's signature crown emblem and robot head. Other designs include a tiger-print black shirt, and an all-over white tiger design with green and orange accents that was designed by Tim Lehi. Another Basquiat-style design is available alongside a shirt with multi-colored naked women to finish off the collection.

The collection is perfect for the summer travel season, as well as any activities that require a lightweight but stylish outfit. The WACKO MARIA Spring/Summer 2022 collection is available on [HBX](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/human-made-drop).
