Beats by Dre is joining forces with Mowalola to bring a fresh aesthetic to its Solo3 Wireless over-ear headphones. Priced at $199, they became available in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada starting on Thursday, September 21. To commemorate the launch, the pair enlisted JT from City Girls to be the face of the campaign. The musician is a regular collaborator of the Nigeria-born, London-based designer. It’s also a timely choice given that the Miami-based rapper recently starred in a promotional video for “POSTER GIRL.”
Mowalola recently dazzled the runway at London Fashion Week to showcase her Spring/Summer 2024 collection, which was inspired by David Cronenberg’s 1996 thriller “Crash.” Meanwhile, the joint effort with Beats drew inspiration from the UK city’s nightlife and club culture. After the announcement, JT took to Twitter to share her excitement about working with photographer Hugo Comte on the project.
