If you've been folllowing the career of artist Tierra Whack you would know that this collaboration is perfect! Tierra Whack hasn't been shy about her personal style. The rapper will be collaborating with Vans on a footwear and apparel collection alongside her stylist Shirley Kurata.
The collection will reflect her approach to music and fashion with shapes, patterns and phrases.“It was an amazing experience to be able to take what I do with music and apply it to fashion,” said Whack. “Making music is all about collaboration and it was great to work with Shirley and with Vans to give people a collection they can feel free in.”
Let's get into the apparel collection. The collection will include the Vans x Tierra Whack Twofer, which is a cotton ringer tee with printed contrasting long sleeves. There's also the Vans Authentic Chino, there's a puffer vest along with a reversible cotton ripstop bucket hat.
