The collection will combine past, present and future in its framework.
THE ILL.I X SLICK RICK COLLABORATION DRAWS INSPIRATION FROM VINTAGE SILHOUETTES AND CLASSIC HIP HOP AESTHETICS IN A WAY THAT IS BOTH PROGRESSIVE AND TIMELESS, RESULTING IN UNPARALLELED STYLE THAT BRINGS TOGETHER PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE. (ill.i.am)
