After debuting its Spring/Summer 2017 lookbook just last week, WACKO MARIA is set to release
its first collaboration of the year. The brand channels its ties to music, a trait that’s evident in
PARADISE TOKYO’s vinyl setup and the KILLER TUNES BROADCAST events, for its first

credited as one of the dub music pioneers in the ’60s. He also worked with notable musical acts
including the likes of Bob Marley, Junior Murvin, Max Romeo and many others during his time.
