Skateboarder Alex Olson's brand Bianca Chandon has kinda blown up. Its clothing is now stocked at a few big retailers around the world and goes to show the increasing skate culture influence in menswear. We wrote about the brand when it debuted earlier this year and attention like that has led some of the clothing to land on the digital racks of places like the Tres Bien, which is where I found these Japanese print long sleeve shirts.
Man, cultural appropriation is out of fucking control. This is just like when white girls get some sort of Asian calligraphy tattooed on them that they think means "peace" or "love," but actually means something super offensive. Sorry, that joke's a bit little stale. But it goes without saying that when you have another language on your clothing, or permanently inked on your epidermis, you're riding a thin line, kemosabe. So, on that note, can someone please find out what the lettering on the sleeve says here so I can feel better about myself and not appropriate too much culture in an offensive manner? Bless.
