Wacko Maria
Even though Wacko Maria was founded in 2005, a few years later than other brands, it has had a significant influence on the Japanese streetwear scene because of its well-known founders, former J-league football players Keiji Ishizuka and Atsuhiko Mori. Believe it or not, the duo are also successful businesspeople who own a clothing store, a vintage sound system, and a coffee shop collectively called Paradise City.
This iconic piece of Tokyo streetwear draws heavily on American music, movies, photography, and the visual arts. Their designs combine elegant, minimalistic cuts with graphics and slogans that express rock 'n' roll and street flair. The Japanese-inspired jacket from the Wacko collection is unquestionably the finest piece for any fashionista!
Remarkably, there are several opportunities for the brand to work with international musicians. However, Wacko Maria chose to interact with those whose music and energy through art are on the same wavelength as Wacko's lively style rather than forge large-scale artist collaborations. A typical example is the 2023 announcement of the collaboration between legendary rapper Tupac and Jamaican singer Bob Marley.
