It’s pretty amazing how time flies. It felt like it was a really short time ago when we first posted about this brand, and now they are celebrating their one year anniversary with this capsule release. For this release, they worked with one of brand’s good friend, Sanjay C. Damien, a graphic designer and also frontman of the post-hardcore band Azure For Janne, to release 2 t-shirts that would bring out the concept of family and togetherness.
The first tee is called Agápē, which means unconditional love in the classical Greek language. The front part of the t-shirt features an Agápē script that represents being together as a family for a year, the bottom part features the word “Constitutam”, which means established in Latin while the roman numerical “IV.MMXIII” next to it means April 2013, the month the brand started.
The Second tee from the collection is called “Lost In Translation”, which features a Japanese script “Watashitachi no kazoku” on the front. It means “Our Family” in Japanese. Why Japanese you ask? Because the brand has always been inspired by their culture, and the mannerism that surrounds the culture in a whole. They are polite, humble, and respect is earn and given regardless of age or standard in society. Another highlight feature of the t-shirt is the dictionary section below the script, which is basically a translation for the word Ménage into a noun for people to be able to relate and pronounce the word correctly.
Both t-shirts feature symbols inspired by Ancient Mayan culture that represents the brand’s tagline Live, Love and Appreciate.
