Summary

  • WACK MARIA is releasing a new range of Hawaiian shirts featuring the iconic artwork of Jean-Michel Basquiat

WACKO MARIA and the estate of artist Jean-Michel Basquiat have teamed up again, this time for a new Spring/Summer 2026 collection.

This new shirt celebrates a rich artistic history with high-quality materials and details. It’s made entirely of lightweight rayon and features prints of artwork by the late artist Basquiat, including his pieces Six Fifty, Rinso, and Notary. The rayon creates a relaxed, flowing fit – a signature of the brand’s warm-weather shirts. The breathable fabric perfectly showcases Basquiat’s unique style, blending fine art with comfortable, everyday wear.

WACKO MARIA is known for blending edgy art with classic Japanese tailoring, and their collaboration with the estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat is a key part of their identity. They take the vibrant, raw energy of the late artist’s work and apply it to their clothing, creating a unique connection between the 1980s New York art scene and contemporary streetwear.

The new collection from Jean-Michel Basquiat and WACKO MARIA will be available in May on the WACKO MARIA online store.
