GUESS / 88rising
1 / 8

After connecting for a special FW18 tie-dye collection, GUESS and 88rising have teamed up once again on a collaborative drop, this time with the "Joji x GUE88 Ballads" capsule.

Spotlighting 88rising's Joji, the drop is composed of a 2-piece T-shirt bundle that commemorates his first full-length album BALLADS 1. This past fall, Joji became the first Asian artist to top the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Album chart with the aforementioned project. Both tees are detailed with GUESS"s signature triangle logo in addition to incorporating graphics from the BALLADS 1 album art, which Joji hand drew himself.

In addition to the T-shirt bundle, the drop will be accompanied by a special “Lost Ballads” VHS tape featuring a 10-minute home video directed and edited by Joji. The tape includes a glimpse into Joji’s personal life, snippets of previously-unreleased B-sides from BALLADS 1, a remix to his single "CAN’T GET OVER YOU" by Channel Tres and more.

Retailing for $80, can purchase the "Joji x GUE88 Ballads" capsule exclusively on 88Rising's new webstore 88NIGHTMARKET beginning April 16.
