Wacko Maria, a clothing store that's based in Japan, created a flagship store back in 2015 titled 'Paradise Tokyo.'
With the flagship having been around for one year now, the company has released a collection of new apparel to tribute its success. Only available in a limited edition, Wacko Maria's line was created with the help of 'Neck Face,' a graffiti artist who's well-known for his stylings of a cartoon demon.
As a means to make the artist's contribution especially known, Wacko Maria is set to feature a gallery of his work at its Paradise Tokyo store -- granting Neck Face more exposure and increasing consumer excitement towards its new apparel. Included are a number of t-shirts and hoodies, jackets, button-ups and long-sleeves.
