Piggybacking off of New York Fashion Week, Big Sean has unveiled the spring 2014 lookbook of his clothing brand, Aura Gold. This collection puts its own spin on an array of the current trends in streetwear

The instant classic Aura Gold baseball shirt is reinterpreted with elements from American Football. Fashionable takes on classic soccer and ice hockey jerseys are merchandised with Aura Gold’s drop crotch and motor sports inspired bottoms to create a clean, sophisticated look.

Waves: Aura Gold’s third Spring delivery offers the brand’s staple pieces with a splash of color. White bodies with shiny white die cut vinyl heat transfers create subtle textural contrasts with understated design details. The sublimated graphics in this collection are
