Initially launched in 1995, Wu Wear set the mold for branding and merchandising opportunities in hip-hop, widening the impact and influence of the culture with each tee and crewneck sold. Now, as the Wu-Tang Clan's rugged and raw debut, Enter The 36th Chamber, hit its quarter-century milestone, the fabled fashion label is set to make a return. According to The FADER, a capsule collection is making its debut this week in Las Vegas, with an eye on spring/summer 2018 for the full line relaunch. In non-fashion Wu news, the group's 1-of-1, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, could finally see the light of day in the wake of Martin Shkreli's recent indictment on three counts of fraud. He'll likely serve a minimal sentence, but a seizure of assets is imminent.
