01The brief

An exclusive line of collaborative merch for Juice WRLD's album rollout.

VLONE was already doing collaborative releases with brands, but rendering a full collection for an artist's album was a new challenge. In early 2019, Juice WRLD reached out to VLONE to drop an exclusive line for the rollout.

The deadline was extremely tight: 8–10 clothing designs, from balaclavas to sweatsuits and shirts. First-round concepts were done the same day.
