“We watched a lot of footage,” Marcuz said of the new collection’s inspiration. “We listened to the album again and again, trying to remember what it was like to hear 1999 for the first time back in the day.” They also listened to Prince’s influences, including Jimi Hendrix, and incorporated elements into the pieces of those, too. “There are layers of Prince, and what we experienced working with him,” Marcuz said. In the end, it took three months to make the prototypes for the collection. Everything in the collection will be made custom for each person purchasing, and there are limited quantities of each piece.
