Lil Uzi Vert Is Giving Human Made an Inhuman Touch
If you're still looking for a pink forehead diamond of your own, Lil Uzi Vert and Human Made/a> have you covered, courtesy of various Swarovski crystal-covered hoodies and tees.
Earlier this year, Lil Uzi Vert shocked the world when he decided to make anime his reality and implant a $24 million diamond in his forehead (as you do). Whether or not the obscenely pricey jewel remains planted in his head, the statement lives on as a characteristic of the rapper's flamboyant style. Remember: "no stylist."
Teased via Human Made founder Nigo's Instagram and reposted to Uzi's personal story, the collection will seemingly immortalize the infamous diamond as the accessory of a playful bat motif. It's not as workwear-y as Human Made's usual output but no one knows lifestyle product better than the BAPE founder, anyways.
The illustration — which is unmistakably of Nigo's own hand — is accompanied by text that reads "BRIDGE BETWEEN HUMAN AND INHUMAN." Given the artist's continued efforts to present himself as otherworldly (trying to buy a planet, anyone?), this could be seen as a statement from Uzi, asserting himself as that bridge between humanity and the inhuman.
From a plush bat pillow to a glass mug to matching layering pieces, the collaboration is rife with logos and thematic text. Billionaire Boys Club will exclusively carry the collection in the US, in its New York and Miami stores, as well as bbcicecream.com. You can expect a further release via Human Made's web store on September 12 at 11 a.m. JST (that's September 11 at 11 p.m. EDT).
Whether Lil Uzi Vert truly is the bridge between human and inhuman or if he succeeds in being the first-ever human to purchase a planet, his moves are always worth watching, and this collaborative drop is no exception.
