Money in the Bank

Claw Money Tank Tops

You know a thing or two about hiding something under the surface.

It’s been ten years and Grams still hasn’t noticed your nipple ring.

There’s a lot under the seemingly sweet surface of Claw Money, too. The Queens-born graffiti icon (she’s editor of Swindle magazine, a former stylist, and published author, too) has been tearing up the streets from Los Angeles to Amsterdam with provocative spray-on street art featuring her signature claw motif.

Her collection of spring tank tops is no less impressive. Available in three bold background hues — navy, sunshine, and seafoam — the lightweight, racer-back cotton tanks are right on the money.

On one, an eye-popping fruit salad explodes with juicy bites of pineapple, grapes, and watermelon. But look closer — she manages to sneak in a bit of feminine fierce with her signature logo: a fat paw outstretched with three talons.

With this chick, all is not what it seems.

Just like someone else we know.
