Stateside, they produced a 15-look runway presentation in a sprawling warehouse space complete with skate ramps and heavily graffitied walls. Celebrity presence included other A$AP crew members, stylist Ian Connor, Playboi Carti, Virgil Abloh, Young Jake and more, turning out to show support. Rocky and Bari also launched a 15-day pop-up in LA to coincide with the collection’s release. In addition to the current collection, the temporary shop will host limited edition pieces from the VLONE and Off-White collaboration. Take a look through the gallery above for an inside look at the festivities. Be sure to also check out A$AP Ferg’s new track with Miss Elliott, “Strive.”

Drawing influences from punk, skate culture, metal, and a range of other underground influences, the clothes feature VLONE branding over camo prints and on prison jumpsuits, and are displayed against graffiti-daubed walls and other paraphernalia. Open for the next two weeks only until April 30, take a look at the space above and plan a visit before it’s gone.
