Pharrell Williams' Billionaire Boys Club worked alongside hip-hop collective A Tribe Called Quest in delivering The Space Program collection. The Space Program capsule draws inspiration from the 90s and all the parties that took place. It was also the time where Williams and A Tribe Called Quest began their relationship and grew closer to one another. Q-Tip from the musical group explains that it has been a long time dream to be able to design and work creative with the Billionaire Boys Club.
The Space Program collection is split into two sections -- one that will be sold at Billionaire Boys Club NYC and the other selling online at A Tribe Called Quest's clothing website. The offerings consist of a range of hoodies, graphic t-shirts, outerwear pieces and more. The collaborative collection will be available for purchase at the BBC NYC flagship location and website and at ATCQ's clothing website beginning March 13th.
