Streetwear imprint Awake NY recently unveiled its Spring teaser collection for the season full of vibrantly colored streetwear staples. The pieces are informed heavily with graphics, along with a distorted logo iteration that is seen across a selection of hats, hoodies, and tees.
Notably, there is also a Michelle Obama graphic that directly spotlights her Princeton graduation photograph. The image is accompanied by a slogan that reads "when they go low, we go high." It comes in four colorway options of white, neon green, salmon, or black. The aforementioned distorted logo graphic is done up in either black or white and features itself on colorways such as neon green, with red text adorning a bright yellow base. The hoodies are accented with a logo informed by embroidery processes, which also comes in a tie-dye colorway that can't be missed.
