Ariana Grande's fashion collection is a six-piece range of graphic tees, sweaters, and hoodies. The drop is a well-thought-out marketing move as the simple streetwear line effectively accompanies the singer/songwriter's fourth studio album "Sweetener." The record was released on August 17th and fans will have the opportunity to boldly express their love for it with the purchase of Ariana Grande's fashion-forward offerings.
Naturally, the graphics in the streetwear collection have strong ties to 'Sweetener.' The color palette is kept minimalist and relatively neutral with the exception of a soft lavender crewneck. Some of the items boast Ariana's song list on the back. However, the most puzzling design of them all is a sweater with a baby picture. Fans are speculating whether it is a photograph of Ariana or her fiancé Pete Davidson.
