So I guess I nailed it with the Paris is Burning influence example a couple month's back.
Cool interview. I'm backing it fully...fun to see somebody try something different.
-
All for it.
Someone interesting doing something unusual.
-
?Come over, Mick Jagger?s here.? I?m like, ?What? No.?

supreme really isn't my thing but i definitely want their video to make a mark. there are too many low-brow uninteresting artsy skate vids out there, but i think supreme can properly pull it off. we'll see.
or at least maybe dylan and alex will make out for the ender ender.

I wish they would have brought up his brief stint with 3D. I like what he's doing though.

alex olson is the most boring dude ever. fuck that cracker.

Alex is the best, and this company is rad. I saw some of the boards too, the shape is good.

Maybe I'll change my mind once I actually see some of the product. But I can't help but feel this shit is the definition of contrived.
-
I'm a Lover of this, and I want that shirt!

So hyped on this.
edit:
Oh yeah. What was that recent photo you posted? Stephanie Seymour?
Yeah. He and Stephanie Seymour were doing a modeling job and he was supposed to be skating in it. I guess she told him at one point like, ?Oh, I?ve never been on one of those.? And he was like, ?Oh, cool.? The way he describes it, he?s like, ?Any time you get a girl on the board it?s a sealed deal.? He?s just like if that happens, it?s done.
TRUTHS

I like it a lot. New drop this friday.

Bummed I'm not into women.

I am incredibly stoked on this. A lot of people in my area are not to stoked on this sort of stuff (FA, this, WKND, 3D), which makes me like it even more. I think it is rad that these guys are doing what they want and are willing to make such a unique product for skateboarders to buy.
-
It makes sense for him to do his own thing. It seems like now is the time when people will either do their own thing and attempt to stay/be relevant or get lost in the shuffle. I totally dig the whole approach, starting with the phone number and poster, then having it progress from there. Cool idea.
-
I feel like that?s what Muska did for his entire career.
(Laughs.) You know what though. To his credit, the dude popped off a whole style in itself. Many times. Even if you just look at the Skytops. You look at that and he?s like super into Rick Owens stuff. But look at Alexander Wenning and all that. I know Chad didn?t start that off but he always had that all black tights with shorts. He?s always been on the forefront and I respect him in that way. It?s too wild for me but he?s great. He almost has a weird Gonz thing. He was ahead of his time and he has been for a long time.
yeah i didn't know wenning went on to become a fashion designer? in all seriousness though they gotta stop acting like they don't know alexander wang's for the sake of looking lame. They already named dropped all the other obscure models names correctly. Other than that good read.

I wondered if Steve Olson got it in. Stephanie Seymour is hot to this day.
So I guess 'House of Bianca' is the TF and they'll put out web edits with b-roll from Priscilla, Queen of the Desert n shit?

I'd also agree with Alex that if a 20ish girl hangs out with/sleeps with a 70 year old man/men, probably should be a flag... Live and learn Lexy! 8)

i just finished skating my first Bianca Chandon. let me tell you it's the most elegant board i've ever experienced. the graphics are beautiful. one simply does not skate a Bianca Chandon without rails.

I got to "Disco Stereo" and decided I am never buying this fuckery. Disco is fucking terrible right? and Dance Clubs? Fuck. Am I wrong?

i like to imagine one of the guests viewing this thread is a confused little french girl who decided to google her own name

Disco is best survived as some of the best sampling material in music. The history of disco is even more interesting, like how it was heavily influenced by gay and black cultures. Or how middle america's growing backlash towards the genre was basically some weird masked latent bigotry. I think its a clever choice for inspiration of a brand.
-
shut the fuck up dude.

I haven't really dug his shit so far....
I liked how you explained the (917) 692.2706 number was supposed to be like those old meet up rave numbers. Are there going to be more tie-ins to rave culture?
I mean, yeah. I?ll tie it in to all the styles of music that I?m into, for sure.

"It was more about blowin up all this nigger music... to me it felt very racial" Vince Lawrence speaking about the "disco sucks" rally at Comisky Park
edit: just gonna throw in some more context: A radio dj in Chicago, had a bunch of disco records blown up during/after a Whitesox game, and Vince Lawrence who was an usher at the park went on to become one of the originators of house music, the quoute is from this at 9:00 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1HpY65cXDA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1HpY65cXDA#)

Seems decent, a little overly elaborate in my personal opinion but it's not a bad premise
I feel like the pretentiousness adds onto the overall mystique of what is going on, wonder what SLAP would have to say if Alex wasn't the one launching this...

This is just awful. Holy shit. I hate skateboarders so much.
-

Well, opinion seems to be pretty split on it so far (at least judging from Slap), but if Alex wasn't behind this, people would obviously hate it more. The only reason it's working as much as it is is because it aligns with his interests and his overall personality.
-
Backing it but probably woulda hated it a year ago. I'm down to buy a shirt or hat when the new stuff drops. Not down to wear anything that says fire island on it though as I feel it would cause unwarranted attention

Why are people so offended by this?
-
I like that he's doing his own thing but there is no way this company is going to last.

man that cherry video is just going to ruin skateboarding, hopefully static IV will restore it a few months later. this is a big time in skating fellas. shits about to get whack.

About to? Does anyone really give a shit about all this? Are Olson / Dill / Anderson's new company's that much of a breath of fresh air?
Really couldn't care. Skating will always be fun, regardless of the industry.

Yeah, right now it's selling out because it's new and vague and "what even is it?" but you're nuts if you think that's going to last and that his small runs are going to make enough money to keep this thing alive.

ofcourse he's going to start out small, and as demand increases change the scale.

i like these words:
"When I watch skate videos now it?s just so draining just how good the kids are. I?m sure you feel the same way. At the end you?re just like, ?Oh man.? I think I watched one recently and I felt like I couldn?t even comprehend what had just happened."
"But now, you have these videos and it?s just so much B-roll footage too. Like a guy tying his shoe, guy not making up his mind, guy waxing."

I was glad to see he kind of got a wakeup call on how apparel production works. Minimums, etc. are no joke when you are trying to do full cut and sew lines. The fact that he revealed he is using all pre-made garments doesn't really help me justify the high price point. I am backing the company and idea, I just wish it wasn't some off the shelf tee shirt with a one color screen print for an inflated price because it's a "fashion" line.
I would like to try one of the boards next time they are available.

How long do you think demand is going to stay high enough for him to keep this going? This is skateboarding, dingus, it changes every few months. It's all highwaters, no complies, pigtails and exploring your sexuality right now, but what do you think it'll be in a few months? If he's not advertising, doesn't have a team, and isn't making a video, he will be forgotten about. He won't sell enough boards or keep enough of a profile for his other sponsors, particularly Nike, to give a shit about him and keep paying him. This is a dude having boards and shirts printed, not a fully functioning company.
It's cool and all, but it's not going to last.

super into it. for the record, the disco most cats identify with is like diet pop disco. the real shit (especially in the 80's when synths hit) was way more aligned with what people nowadays call funk. was more sleazy and aggressive.
i used to have a shirt that said lover on the back that i made with felt letters almost in the same font as the BC one. this song made me want to wear it.
Robot Love (LP) - Interface (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1GW8cH4fSw#)
if you were listening to this and Larry Levan walked up to you and asked if you'd like to let him and Grace Jones eat shrimp off your penis,........
*eatdatskrimp*
I will not buy alex's version, though i fully back this entire endeavor if this is indeed his inspiration.
edit: speaking of Levan, check this shit. it's about as far from the white bread Bee Gees style of pop-disco as you can get. this is what I know disco as. as a black man who's uncle played music with Brick (google disco jazz by brick).

Good interview. Succeeded in getting me mildly interested in the company which is an achievement given how little I like most of the first product run.

Because I assumed that Sutherland's piece was what influenced the use of the Dead skull. It might be a couple years old at this point but is still pretty hip with the kids.
No the classic "steal your face" Grateful Dead logo was drawn by Owsley Stanley, who was kind of the leader of teh early 60's acid movement in SF.

Thanks for schooling me on the Dead, pal!! Thought my sentence was clear but I guess it wasn't. What I tried to state was that I don't think Alex Olson would have used that image if Peter Sutherland's use of it hadn't have been all over Tumblr.

In this case I think bloody Matt nailed the reference. I had the same thought when I saw his use of it.

Thanks for posting the vid, I guess that kind of stuff is harder to believe coming from a post than someone who was there actually talking about it.
Anyways, for as much conceptual potential BC has it doesn't have a team so its all kind of a waste.

I like that he's doing his own thing but there is no way this company is going to last.
You say that, but every item that has gone up on his store has sold out pretty quickly. He must be doing something right.
Yeah, right now it's selling out because it's new and vague and "what even is it?" but you're nuts if you think that's going to last and that his small runs are going to make enough money to keep this thing alive.
clutching at straws much?
ofcourse he's going to start out small, and as demand increases change the scale.
How long do you think demand is going to stay high enough for him to keep this going? This is skateboarding, dingus, it changes every few months. It's all highwaters, no complies, pigtails and exploring your sexuality right now, but what do you think it'll be in a few months? If he's not advertising, doesn't have a team, and isn't making a video, he will be forgotten about. He won't sell enough boards or keep enough of a profile for his other sponsors, particularly Nike, to give a shit about him and keep paying him. This is a dude having boards and shirts printed, not a fully functioning company.
It's cool and all, but it's not going to last.
changes every 2 months? are you kidding?
he's just about to have a part in the supreme video and someone like Olson makes trends and kids like you follow them.
I'm a grown man. I've been skating since you were just a....

All of this is so right on the money that you're probably right. I hope not because I like his skating and he's gotten so much more coverage lately. I really hope he doesn't just have a half dozen tricks in Cherry.

EDM is some kook shit, calling any music EDM is like calling skateboarding "action sports" and if you call your music EDM you are most likely a Belgian/Dutch cokehead who got "jaded" by the Gabba/Gabber/Jump/Hardstyle scene and decided your new motivation in music is sleeping with underage girls, cunts. The only acceptable _DM is IDM, Autechre and Squarepusher and shit, anyone remember "Intelligent Drum n Bass"?

I think the hilarious thing about EDM is that while Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream paved the path for electronic dance music it was Detroit that really created the template for its future but it wasn't until the UK and Europe took it onboard, pushed the sub genres and rinsed it for all it was worth before selling it back to the US labeled as EDM that could be packaged as "new" and not associated with Detroit that a lot of Americans could accept it. It's an American craft that America let go and now has to buy back.

Pretty much yeah. The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin ect, all black music influenced (along with other elements) brought to the world by white guys this making it ok for white America to like it. House, techno and all that branches off it coming not only from impoverished black America but often gay America was too real for the rest of America until Europe repackaged it. Can't help but feel if it wasn't for this, Alex wouldn't have a snowflakes chance in developing the aesthetic he's heading for with this company.

"Can't help but feel if it wasn't for this, Alex wouldn't have a snowflakes chance in developing the aesthetic he's heading for with this company."
He should base his company on some Big Freedia/Sissy Nobby New Orleans sissy bounce shit, which would fail but then in 20 years he could be all I told you so about, when some German dude blows a facsimile version of it up, and the skate scene takes notice 8)

People say it's too soon to dislike this company? What a joke. If you can decide that you blindly "back it" at this point then you could sure as hell dislike what you've seen so far also.
He hit the nail on the head right here, time to wake up folks:
sometimes i wish @olsonstuff was 'creative' instead of letting us create the company for him.
intentionally mysterious usually means "i have no idea what im doing, but i have buzz, i am relevant, people will make something up to justify the amount of time they spent looking at my social media presence all day."

bloodymatt - why would you attribute the skull to a peter sutherland blanket and not the grateful dead?
Because I assumed that Sutherland's piece was what influenced the use of the Dead skull. It might be a couple years old at this point but is still pretty hip with the kids.

Whoa. Fuckin' whoa. Up until now I've really been backin' this whole disco fantasy of Alex's, but now I just don't know. I really don't know how to take this other than completely personal. Sometimes you read something somewhere and it really shows you what somebody is about, you know? You see what they're made of. It's like when someone you think is great tells you that they listen to Jimmy Buffett or that their favorite movie is I Love You Alice B. Toklas...it's like at that very moment everything changes and you just can't even look that person in the eye anymore. That's what happened here for me. I thought Alex understood how integral the SLAP forums were to his failure or success. But it's like he just doesn't get it...I don't know what to think anymore. I just can't anymore with you Alex. You've taken the relationship we had...the relationship all of us had with you...and you've just shit all over it. And not just a regular shit. This is that kind-of shit you take after a long night of drinking followed by a trip to Jack In The Box at 3:45 followed by more drinking and then some coke and/or meth and then you don't get any sleep and you've actually been constipated because of the pain killers you took earlier so basically it's the bathroom equivalent to Hiroshima. That's what you did to us here, Alex. Shame on you.

To me it seems like he's just putting together some random weird ''hipster'' elements without really putting in thought on what the company will be about. Maybe it will form into something great, but for now I think this whole attempt lacks vision and soul.

there's another feminist theory that all heterosex is rape. i'd take anything they say w/ a big handful of salt.

If you guys didnt make so much out this brand in absurd and ridiculous ways i would probably not post in this thread. But you do so here we are. On a skateboarding messageboard talking about skateboarding.
I think the negative posts in this thread are way more over the top than the positive ones you are the one "making so much out of this brand" most of us just like the dudes skating and look forward to seeing what he does with the company.
theres a lot of positive posts that are just as over the top as the negative ones. it goes both ways.

It's katakana; a subset of written Japanese that uses phonetic sounds to write words not of Japanese origin; or words that there are not kanji for. Like...Bianca Chandon.

Thanks dude! Killer info to know.
What they aren't telling you is that Bianca (ビアンカ）is Osaka slang for Bukkake (打っ掛け) and Chandon (シャンドン) is an old term for 'do' in the passive causative form (させられる), or being made to do. Thus the T-shirt can roughly be translated as "force me to have a bukkake."
Hence Kansai women can often be heard to cry 『ビアンカシャンドンのは嫌だな!』"Being forced to have a "Bianca Chandon" is undesirable!"

if a couple board graphics (that aren't even bad so much as they are just minimal) can make or break someone's appreciation for a an entire company and it's image, then that person was probably never a fan in the first place and also probably wouldn't buy their product anyway.

No, no. The "voguing" graphic is bad.

It's not like he is manufacturing the actual wood, shape and graphics are his only contribution. If one was the plain type and the others were something else that would be one thing, but just the typeface strikes me as just mailing it in, and obviously the irony is flaking on BA on the grounds of artistic differences.

I thought the voguing graphics were really lame, but then I read that voguing is "a dance consisting of a series of stylized poses struck in imitation of fashion models" and I found it really funny and fitting to the company. I like what he's done so far it is totally unique, and that is what he's going for.

thought it was sick, he obviously did it to piss off the forums, and the shittalkers. and why the fuck wouldnt you pay 55$ for one of those boards, when most of you would be perfectly fine with buying a polar board for 55$, when they are made at the same factory? and by the way polars graphics has been the same shitty pontus drawings and jakke ovgren paintings for three years now, granted jakke is actually tallented but still.
u dum

oh yeah, i forgot about stefan naranacic, but thats it pretty much right there, if you would get your head out of your ass about how fucking real and dope polar is then maybe you would see it. and if your gonna say that polars videos is what makes the brand, then you oughta know hes been doing the same excact shit when it comes to editing and showcasing skateboarding since strongest of the strange which came out in 04.

if a couple board graphics (that aren't even bad so much as they are just minimal) can make or break someone's appreciation for a an entire company and it's image, then that person was probably never a fan in the first place and also probably wouldn't buy their product anyway.
No, no. The "voguing" graphic is bad.
try going anywhere without seeing 700 people skating these boards. Looks like some people like boring graphics, oh well

Boring graphics aren't the same as terrible graphics. Your comparing an iconic company doing "boring" logo boards with whatever that other shit is. Basically all it looks like is Alex can't afford to pay a real artist.

I get the argument about Real and other companies having boring graphics as well, but Real and these other companies have a history in skateboarding as well as a reputation of putting out a quality product with a strong team. Art direction is far from the end all be all, but when your company is new and the graphics are completely wack and the name is pretty fucking stupid too and you have no team other than Alex Olsen then there's not really much to draw you in (unless you think that's the point and the rest of us just don't get it or something because he's edgy or some bullshit, honestly he needs to just take his ideas to the runway because it seems like he's running an ad campaign for models rather than a skateboard company)

Back around 2005, if Girl put out a deck that just said "voguing" on it, you bought it knowing that it was some ongoing inside joke from the daily randoms or the ringer. Onlookers would think it was stupid, but it didn't matter. Bianca Chandon's voguing decks are just random and stupid because it seems to be an appeal to rich NYC fashionistas who carry boards for no reason.

Alex isn't trying to be Real or some other company, the dude is literally taking what he likes and giving people the option to buy it. He's not forcing people to like it. If you like it, then buy it. If not, then who gives a shit. The irony of this situation is outstanding. You guys are out here calling him an elitist with his hip company, while simultaneously being the elitists by claiming his "bullshit graphics" aren't up to par with what a "real company" is. At the end of the day, let the dude make what he wants, no one's forcing you to buy it, jesus christ.

I'm not calling him an elitist, nor am I denying him the right to produce and sell what he wants. It just doesn't appeal to me. No one is forcing me to buy it, hence I'm not buying it. You act like people are calling for the guys head because they think his company his shit. This is a forum, where people come to discuss opinions. Honestly I don't even like Real as a company and I would never buy their products but I understand why people give them worth despite their graphics. Not the case with Bianca Chandon. That's cool he's doing what he likes but it just comes across as contrived and lazy. I don't see what he's bringing to the table aside from his skating because he's not an artist (I know a lot of people will beg to differ but come on), he hasn't assembled a team, and he doesn't seem to have any real care to give back to skating because it barely resembles a board company in the slightest. This is like a board company for the tumblr generation, if all the bloggers got to make their own board company they'd just recycle a bunch of shit that they've seen that they like and produce an image around it without actually doing anything creative or having a cohesive goal. Again, just my opinion, not calling for the guy to be lynched or anything. And I'm sure lots of people would just reply "well you're a hater, you don't do anything so why hate on the dude who's trying to do what he likes" and I would agree, I'm not doing anything, but I'm also not barely doing something and selling it for ridiculously inflated prices on the internet and justifying it as style or art when there's no substance behind it.
-
If you don't like it, cool. I'm not saying you should but I like it. It's weird because two years ago if I was asked would I buy anything from a company run by Alex I probably would have said no, but I like what he's doing. If there is a point then I "get it" but maybe there isn't a point and I'm just falling for it but either way I'm not going to loose any sleep over it.

Putting "Voguing" on a board is fucking sick. I know you guys would probably be really excited if he rehashed ideas that girl did 7 years ago or got some shitty artist to do a torture series or some other masculine bullshit but he actually is doing something that is pretty fresh in skateboarding.
But anyway, there is no point arguing over this shit because alot of you are regular and aesthetics are a completely personal thing.
So suck my dick and continue riding your boards with real shitty art direction.

You just completely contradicted yourself. Also just because someone isn't into a graphic that says voguing doesn't mean that person is going to be into some super masculine bullshit either, you guys are really grasping at straws as to why you back this company. Instead of coming up with facts about what you think is cool about the company all you do is compare it to other brands with bad art direction and say "well at least it's not this brand" proving you have no fucking idea what you are talking about whatsoever.

Hate to diss on another guy with a Nick Cave avatar but this is why you can't have intelligent conversations online. It always boils down to some jackass telling people they suck or are the worst and thinking they accomplished something. Worst poster on Slap? Who gives a fuck? None of this matters, it's a fucking internet message board. Go out into the real world and try telling someone about this bullshit and they'll laugh in your face. Also, what the fuck is cool about voguing? Honestly? Even if it's meant to be ironic which I'm sure it probably is, it's just really not funny.

I'm on a skateboard forum expressing my opinions on a skateboard brand started by a dude who probably never finished high school (that I kind of idolise). Its not like we are splitting the atom.
And everytime I see Exposure comes along with his holier-than-thou run of the mill recycled opinions I just want to punch him in the throat. Even though I actually agree with the boring bastard. Sometimes.

Alright ya whiney little bitch. One of my favorite brands is toy machine. 1. Because I love the aesthetic of it, Ed's art is original and he's great at coming up with new ideas still after all this time. 2. I love every toy machine video, old and new. 3. They have one of my favorite teams right now so I buy toy machine to support the dudes with names on the boards. 4. I've met Ed at a few demos and he was literally one of the coolest, nicest pros I've ever talked to, which in turn makes me want to support his brand.
These are actual reasons as to why someone would like a skate brand. It'd be different if I said I liked the brand and when asked why all I could say was "WELL AT LEAST IT'S NOT BORING AND GENERIC LIKE REAL BOARDS". That right there proves you are saying you like the brand just to say that you like it because you're a trend hopping hip fuccboi. If your only justification for liking a brand is because it's not another brand, you might want to question if you genuinely like the brand or just say you do for whatever reason.

I really enjoy Alex's skating (wish he put out more footage) but this company / brand is f'n lame. A red t shirt that says lover??? That's a cool t shirt??? I just don't get it but he apparently seems to sell out of everything he makes so good for him.

As George said, "aesthetics are a completely personal thing" and I like Toy Machine too. As Shark Tits pointed out Ed borrowed a lot of influence early on as Alex is doing. Nice try at insulting me though but you're gonna have a hard time proving I'm a "trend hopping hip fuccboi".I didn't say anything about "boring and generic like real boards" or anything else you tried to imply I did. You on the other hand are much easier to pin down as a bland white bread opinion piggy backer that thinks personal taste equates to "facts".

HOLY SHIT DUDE, SOME PEOPLE LIKE SOME THINGS, OTHER PEOPLE LIKE DIFFERENT THINGS. IT'S REALLY THAT SIMPLE. YOU DON'T NEED FUCKING FACTS TO JUSTIFY LIKING SOMETHING. ARE YOU WRITING YOUR COLLEGE THESIS ON THIS SHIT? SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY
So you just go around liking shit for no reason whatsoever? If that's true you're a trend hopper. So, are you a trend hopper or are you incorrect in saying you don't need a reason to like something?

Its getting way too heated up in here hahah
I think the boards are funny cuz it reflects olson's inner conflict between his serious-fashion side and his sarcastic side

I like everything about this Bianca Chandon brand.
Putting "Voguing" on a board is fucking sick. I know you guys would probably be really excited if he rehashed ideas that girl did 7 years ago or got some shitty artist to do a torture series or some other masculine bullshit but he actually is doing something that is pretty fresh in skateboarding.
But anyway, there is no point arguing over this shit because alot of you are regular and aesthetics are a completely personal thing.
So suck my dick and continue riding your boards with real shitty art direction.
You just completely contradicted yourself. Also just because someone isn't into a graphic that says voguing doesn't mean that person is going to be into some super masculine bullshit either, you guys are really grasping at straws as to why you back this company. Instead of coming up with facts about what you think is cool about the company all you do is compare it to other brands with bad art direction and say "well at least it's not this brand" proving you have no fucking idea what you are talking about whatsoever.

Exposure, mate. You are the most boring fucking poster Slap has probably ever seen. Fuck off.
Alright ya whiney little bitch. One of my favorite brands is toy machine. 1. Because I love the aesthetic of it, Ed's art is original and he's great at coming up with new ideas still after all this time. 2. I love every toy machine video, old and new. 3. They have one of my favorite teams right now so I buy toy machine to support the dudes with names on the boards. 4. I've met Ed at a few demos and he was literally one of the coolest, nicest pros I've ever talked to, which in turn makes me want to support his brand.
These are actual reasons as to why someone would like a skate brand. It'd be different if I said I liked the brand and when asked why all I could say was "WELL AT LEAST IT'S NOT BORING AND GENERIC LIKE REAL BOARDS". That right there proves you are saying you like the brand just to say that you like it because you're a trend hopping hip fuccboi.

I never said anything about you don't need a reason to like something, I said "facts" in the way that you described it, like you need a goddamn microsoft excel spreadsheet on why you like a company, so that you feel like you're a "real" fan for all the "right" reasons.
I like Bianca Chandon because it is different, weird, and Alex is cool. Are those facts reasonable enough to you? Or should I set up a Powerpoint and hand it in to you by tomorrow?

wow this is a truly terrible thread now. prolly doomed AO's whole company thanks to you guys and ur bold words

Keep fighting the good fight Sodajerk.
The way that this Exposure fella can only deal in facts makes me think he maybe a little autistic so we shouldn't go too hard on the little fella. Developmental issues and all that aren't really a laughing matter.
And exposure you've got to realise there is more to life than facts. grey areas are the best areas. I just worry that you might have a really unfullfilling life if you deal soley in absolutisms. Chin up big guy. You will form your own identity one day.

Palace's clothing prices kinda blow my mind, like damn, when hoodies are approaching twice the price of new boards, you might as well just buy a new board, a shop hoodie, a tasty pint and burn a couple fatties ???
-
For someone as fashionable as Alex Olson he sure does make gay shirts. I was hyped for this weeks drop and it definitely shit the bed. Sorry Alex boo :-*
-
NEW = FART
MONEY = LOTS
-
This peaked around the first or second drop. Been downhill since...
-
This shit is so weak. Pretty bad when the best thing in this drop isn't an original idea. Kinda funny and ironic that he's borrowing ideas from a fucking Spike Jonze movie.
-
so far, so sucks
-
I want to back this company because AO is the shit in my opinion but man that last drop is hard to support. The fuck is wth the hat? It looks like the sort of ugly shit you could buy from any nyc dollar store or street vender which I guess is sort of the point but why the fuck would anybody want to pay 80 bucks for it?

I can't answer the why anyone would pay that, but I can tell you the reasoning behind the cost. It's made by Ebbets Field Flannels. They use the highest quality materials, their shit is made to order and it's made in the USA. If you were to custom order a single hat from them, it's $99. The shit they keep in production is $40-48. They change out the production every 3-4 months or so.
https://www.ebbets.com/ (https://www.ebbets.com/)
People just don't respect craftsmanship these days. They want quality but when the cost of the quality is more than expected they compromise and get something produced by a nobody in China and expect it to perform the same. It's like the difference between say Gino or Julien and some new jack that can flip and spin his board a lot and jump on big handrails.

I get what you're saying but what kind of performance would you expect out of a $90 hat? Probably about the same as a $5 dollar hat. And I wouldn't pay $5 for one that looks as stupid as that Bianca Chandon hat. I'm all for paying more for a quality product, but when that product has some stupid design on it I wouldn't wear it for free. I'd rather just wear a plain ass t-shirt.

I want to back this company because AO is the shit in my opinion but man that last drop is hard to support. The fuck is wth the hat? It looks like the sort of ugly shit you could buy from any nyc dollar store or street vender which I guess is sort of the point but why the fuck would anybody want to pay 80 bucks for it?
I can't answer the why anyone would pay that, but I can tell you the reasoning behind the cost. It's made by Ebbets Field Flannels. They use the highest quality materials, their shit is made to order and it's made in the USA. If you were to custom order a single hat from them, it's $99. The shit they keep in production is $40-48. They change out the production every 3-4 months or so.

And that's cool, you don't dig it so you don't want to pay for it regardless of the cost. That's the way it should work. The way people see value in a label or name over the quality is where it's messed up. People used to buy from designers because they saw value in a cut and sew item that cost more to make and held prestige in their eyes but now labels invest more in marketing than manufacture and the name is more valuable than the quality. What I expect from an $80 hat is butter soft material, solid construction and not to see every other guy at the spot wearing it. What do I expect from any other hat? That it fits on my head and keeps the sun from my eyes. Would I pay $80? If they shipped internationally then maybe if I was flush with money that month.

I dunno. quality materials or not, any hat that I skate in is going to have nasty sweat stains on it in about two or three weeks so spending 80 bucks on it is just ridiculous. Not to mention that fact that for 80 you could get two hats from a lot of other companies and still have like 9 or 10 bucks left over for lunch.

You didn't acknowledge that it could be both, so I guess you're also not smart enough to realize that this brand isn't for the average skateboarder.

Ha, You completely misunderstand. I'll walk you through it. I'm 100% aware that it's within the realm of possibility that this brand could be both. I'm just wondering if that is the case, who is his target audience, if not the average skateboarder, which you claim is the case. Should a SKATEBOARD brand choose not market itself towards the average skateboarder, and if not, why?

Fair enough. I just figured as a brand owner, you'd want to make your product easily accessible. But if this really is a boutique/skate brand then I guess this product will ironically appeal more to fashion heads than actual skateboarders.

I like that he's doing his own thing but there is no way this company is going to last.
You say that, but every item that has gone up on his store has sold out pretty quickly. He must be doing something right.
Yeah, right now it's selling out because it's new and vague and "what even is it?" but you're nuts if you think that's going to last and that his small runs are going to make enough money to keep this thing alive.
clutching at straws much?
ofcourse he's going to start out small, and as demand increases change the scale.
How long do you think demand is going to stay high enough for him to keep this going? This is skateboarding, dingus, it changes every few months. It's all highwaters, no complies, pigtails and exploring your sexuality right now, but what do you think it'll be in a few months? If he's not advertising, doesn't have a team, and isn't making a video, he will be forgotten about. He won't sell enough boards or keep enough of a profile for his other sponsors, particularly Nike, to give a shit about him and keep paying him. This is a dude having boards and shirts printed, not a fully functioning company.
It's cool and all, but it's not going to last.
It doesn't even have to last to be great.
The questions this company is raising are valuable to skateboarding.
Mission accomplished

Rip n Dip is doing well despite starting out fairly small. Not to mention there are already plenty of companies out there with those stupid pocket shirts that differ very little between companies.
Bianca Chandon could work, it's all a matter of how AO will run the company later down the line, as well as what the demand is like.

Shit, ripndip was beyond small. It was ran out of a guys garage in orlando, then all the sudden him and his homeboys are on the berrics, selling their souls. Alot of ripndip shirts are really cool, but the dude and (most) of his friends behind it are giant DOUCHE'S!

No, when demand exceeds supply, demand becomes desire. An item that is desired holds value unlike one that can be replaced at the local mall very cheaply. He is specifically not targeting an "average" skater market, why would he? The market is flooded with brands waving flags to identify them as "skateboarding" goods when plenty of stuff is sold to non skateboarders. If you need a shirt that identifies to others that your a skater there's plenty available. Quit worrying about an $80 hat that will sell to someone that wants it and go back to dressing how you think "core" looks this month.

Then they can wear DC/PlanB/Element/DGK/Supra/Zoo York like every bro/irrelevant skater out there. Kids that like Bianca are probably smart enough to thrift anyway and recognize it's cool to not look like a skater.

and that has nothing to do with and shouldnt have anything to do with, liking or disliking drag ballroom culture. why is it that sharpshooter cant dislike ballroom culture AND be pro gay rights? the way its endlessly paired with being gay is so lame. you're not transcending stereotypes with this stuff, you're just playing into them to make bank. the way LGBT groups like hmi play into these stereotypes just make it harder for a gay dude to just be a gay dude.

ya'll gettin all political n shit.
if you don't fuck wit all the gay culture shit then just don't buy it. just like if someone doesn't like punk rock culture they prolly won't buy creature boards.
if alex can find a market for this shit and some people want to buy it then whatever, good for him
Sexual orientation isn't a culture, it's a sexual orientation. Hating someone for what they "can't help" is fucked up on any level. It goes beyond liking a certain type of music, so your hayman aruguemnt blows a bag of bisexual wooowhos.
I've been drinking, sorry if this doesn't make much sense.

sexuality ain't a culture but gay culture is a culture just like being black isn't a culture but there is such thing as 'black culture'. if you're not of either culture and try to co-opt it you're gonna look shtooops no matter how open minded you think it makes you. hasn't everyone seen 'whiteboyz'?

first off who's hating on people being gay? ??? gay people can do whatever the fuck they want to do.
some gay people have their own culture in terms of the way they dress and the type of music/artist that they listen too, etc. not sure how that's "hating"....

you've got the right to believe or talk about whatever you want. i didn't see anyone 'hating' anything, just if you think a culture is corny you ain't gotta buy it was what i got from skatefase's comment. not into heavy metal? don't buy a helloween shirt. don't like jocks, don't support NFL clothes or whatever. etc.... you can dislike DGK w/out being racist.

Don't have any real input on the rest of your post because I see where you're coming from, but lets not get it fucked up. Gay people most certainly CAN'T do whatever the fuck they want in most places. As far as things have come in terms of acceptance, they're still pretty fucking discriminated against.

i was talking in context to me. they can do whatever the fuck they want to me. be gay, i don't care. of course people are still pretty ignorant with things like homophobia, bigotry, and racism.
that's one of the cool things about skateboarding that a company like this can be accepted and gain interest.

Being treated as a human being and getting the same rights has little to do with how you go about living your life. You could have some super "vanilla" gay couple that seem like a couple of regular folks with regular jobs who keep their sex life private and not be able to get married and then you can have some 60 year old dude with an 18 year old who is into pissing in her mouth to reruns of MASH and they're able to get married. Something isn't right there.

Its kind of homophobic to reduce fire island to "the place the gays have sex".
Whilst thats what it was, it was a place where a culture born out of a sexuality found a place to express itself fully without a bunch of gay bashers and moral panic. It kind of represents more than a bit of the ol' dick in butt.
When ever you look at a gay dude do you just straight away think of him fucking another dude? Straight dudes also?

He didn't say he disliked ballroom culture, he said he "wouldn't wear something that involved gay culture". Pretty broad sweeping statement. How about just saying he didn't like the shirt, or, did he like the shirt but wouldn't want to wear it in case he was worried other people might think he was gay? I'm not saying SHARPSHOOTER is a gay basher but to say his statement doesn't reek of homophobia is ignorant and doesn't seem very pro gay rights. I also don't claim to be perfect and I too am guilty of using homophobic language at times, I don't mean to be discriminatory or spiteful but I don't defend it when I use it and I am trying not to use it anymore. And to anyone claiming that having gay friends proves they are not homophobic stop all ready.

I think what he's referring to is that he has no clear idea of gay (sub)culture and therefore wouldn't want to wear something that refers to it; the same way that he wouldn't wear a shirt of a band he's never listened to. That's my reading at least. I think that makes sense and that's pretty much the way I look at it. I would rather wear a shirt propagating gay rights or speaking against homophobia ("Football fans against homophobia" ["Fussballfans gegen Homophobie"] comes to mind) than something that's playing with gay culture, which I'm not so familiar with and not a part of.
That being said, I think it's great that Bianca Chandon is playing with and pushing gay culture. Skateboarding, let's face it, is still a pretty homophobic subculture. Maybe the company will change that a little...

No. Not at all. Who someone sleeps with doesn't occupy much of my thoughts when I meet or see someone who I could reasonably assume to be Gay.
To me it just seems more exploitive of the culture than anything.

The "homophobe disclaimer" reminds me of people on FOX News , who say fucked up shit, followed by, "I have black friends." Anyway, buy shit you like, and don't buy the shit you don't like.

Tay forgive my ingnorance but I had to look up what intersexed encompassed and I still a little confused. Feel free to tell me to fuck off but could you explain your version of it to me so I might understand a little better? I am aware of gender dysphoria and hermaphroditism and had a girlfriend that studied gender studies dealing mainly with "the third sex" but I'm still unaware of a lot of the spectrum.

Ok, I understand what you are saying and for the greater part agree. I'm not accusing sharpshooter of being a homophobe because I don't know him but what I said was that by saying he wouldn't wear something that involved gay culture is something that would/could be said by a homophobe and have homophobic connotations. Intent and cause can be oceans apart. I like your point about Alex pinning ballroom culture as being reductive to gay culture but he has to start somewhere and whilst reductive it is also inclusive and good source material when trying to start the "gayest" brand in skateboarding. I don't think he's exploiting it so far. My wife used Paris is Burning as inspiration for a collection she designed and I couldn't see her as exploiting a culture she isn't part of for that.
-
read other sharpshooter posts, it's pretty obvious he is a little kid, and says a ton of dumb shit. I wouldn't get so worked up over it. also I dunno of I agree with it being seen as exploitation, Alex is drawing a lot of attention to topics that wouldn't normally be in our culture. I am not that well versed in gay history and had never heard of fire island and at the very least he is informing us of something id consider worthwhile.

way off on the sports jerseys. michael sam is second in rookie jerseys. the season hasnt occured yet so the actual season jersey sales havent been tabulated. as far as jason collins, thats a big lol. the nba is a star drivlen league and jason collins was never a star. he was a great teammate, a great hustle player but not a star. the top 15 nba Jerseys sold are the only reported public list and i can assure you collins didnt crack it. top 25 is possible.
although gay culture is beginning to scratch the surface of mainstream pop culture brands like bianca chandon and gay athlete jerseys are still stuck in a niche market.

I can be in support of Gay rights without being involved in the Gay right movement, and that doesn't make me a homophobe. Just because I have nothing to do with the culture and aren't out there vocally pushing for it doesn't make me a homophobe. I honestly think that's all that sharpshooter was trying to say.

But I'm intersexed and this hits close to home.
Does it annoy you that you don't have a letter in the LGBTQ thing?
Actually, she does. It's the letter "I." The acronym is now "LGBTQIA" The I is intersexed and and the A is ally, as in supporter of those in that community.
The "A" for ally always pissed me of and I prefer when it's used for "asexual." I usually settle for LGBTQ (maybe adding IA) or else you run the risk of basically just restating the entire alphabet.

I can't believe you guys are taking #Tumblr skateboards seriously. This shit has barely anything to do with actual skateboarding. Its great that he wants to donate to a good cause such as this... But dude has gone so far away from skating with this.

Maybe I'm out of the loop and just don't know enough about HMI, but from visiting their website, HMI doesn't seem to be concerned with reducing gay culture to ballroom and drag (at least not now). And I don't think Alex is doing that either. He is saying that he was inspired by that aspect of gay culture and instead of just making decks based off of it and keeping the money, he is giving it to a charity born out of that same gay culture that is concerned with creating a safe space for LGBTQ and straight kids in a vulnerable time of their lives. He is not saying that all gay people like that or that is the only real gay culture. In fact, I think it would be more exploitative if he didn't mention it and by saying that he can't talk about it or HMI is problematic for their connections to you, you're ignoring its place in gay history and the effects it had on people's lives, beliefs, ideas, attitudes and whatever else.

I ordered both of those decks...just had to.
-
Really considering ordering that 8.3 board. Graphic looks great.
-
The 8.3 deck is sold out already. That didn't take long.
-
those new decks and the jersey are the first things I've liked so far. I'd like to see more of that and a lot less spencers gifts t-shirts.
-
Trying new things is good. I'd much rather watch someone fail miserably at a new idea--regardless of it's to my personal taste--than watch someone coast by on the mediocrity train. At the very least he's got people thinking and talking.
I also appreciate that he's potentially going to make a queer teen somewhere feel interested in skateboarding and feel that maybe they do have a place in it. Which they should.

Yeah, this drop is awesome. It seems to be super hit-or-miss. The phone number board was cool, I liked the tees from the first drop that just had the logo on the back. More stuff like those would be cool.

Definitely. Honestly, I can't wait until skateboarding gets somebody who is gay and awesome and trips everybody out the way Elissa Steamer did around being a woman and being incredible. I'd say Sean Pablo is that guy but I don't know if he's gay.
Seriously, though...some kid is going to come up and he's going to be fem as fuck and he's going to kick ass and nobody is going to be able to deny him anything.

No maybe I'm just not down with a gay black guy stretching all weird on a t-shirt,board,etc. Sorry I want to spend my money on something I enjoy, feel good and comfortable wearing. People can do whatever they want in my books, I don't care. That even stretches out to animal fuckers.

Great post man. You really explained the company to all of us and definitely didn't just restate what Alex has already said in all of his other interviews that have been talked about already.
Also, there's a new drop this week. "Lover" hoodies, a weird shirt with a smile on it, a nine-inch board, and maybe some restocks on the House of Bianca boards.

This argument really doesn't hold any water, let's not act like the appropriation of an image is a new thing, in addition it is based of a Jason Lee board which uses the same technique.
The real question is does it work aka does it make a good board graphic I would say so, i would like to add that Grace Jones is a iconic figure that may be forgotten by some but she made for good image making.

Olson isn?t intentionally being provocative with Bianca Chand?n, he?s just doing what interests him. ?It?s not like I?m trying to be edgy by taking on these things that are taboo,? he says. Still, he is sending an eye-opening jolt of energy into an industry that has become content with its discontent.
?My whole thing was, what would a skateboard company not do?? Olson says. ?Just think that way.?
If his head was any further up his ass he would litterally headbutt his own kidney

What exactly is boring about a company ran by Mike Carrol and Rick Howard? And what does this have to do with Alex Olson's company making shitty shirts and using shitty disco as a soundtrack? To each their own, but hardly worth the hype. Just because he skated for Girl, doesn't mean Girl should be referenced in terms of this.
I wonder what will be the next overhyped company after this one fizzles. What will the crappy artwork for those overpriced shirts look like?
What dead musical style will be used for it? (Lounge...Polka..NuMetal?) Instead of LBGT community being exploited...the company owner could align themselves with a different sect of society (Down Syndrome, Skinheads, Cosplay?) Then kids will think that's hot shit and get all hyped on weekly drops :-*
Whatever. I'm just typing to type. I'm gonna get off the internet and go skate. I'll be patiently waiting for some cliche "go buy a girl logo board" response.

i think you guys have no idea what you're talking about anymore. the OG girl board is a CLASSIC logo. there is no shame in buying one. and what are you even comparing it to ? a line of 6 skateboards compared to 2 catalogs of maybe 30 boards each for each brand each year? crailtap always releases a couple good boards with great shapes every season. they make skateboards for every kind of shop, for every kind of place, for every kind of person. get your heads on straight and put the catalog into context.

You're missing the point. Lots of people are bummed on Girl because they used to be that company that DID have that flavor. They often used boards that didn't have the OG logo and sometimes didn't even have the rider's name on it. Their videos and ad all had a certain feel that made them immediately feel "Girl." Nowadays they just occasionally do a series of "one-offs" where there is a bit more going on with the graphics, but they mainly stick to the OG logo, the rider's name and then a bunch of different colorways of the same. It IS boring. It IS stale. It's even more frustrating because you see it coming from some people that were pretty much the most creative people in the industry for years and now they're putting out something bland despite probably making more money than ever before (I have no facts to base this claim on.)
So when these guys are saying, "Shut the fuck up and buy a Girl logo board" they're just naysaying the hate that's coming onto someone doing something a bit different. They could've just as easily said "Plan B" or "Real" or any of the other companies that put little to no thought into their graphics dept. While I don't think that the decks that Alex has put out are anything special, he's definitely doing his own thing and that's getting some people psyched.

wait, people actually thought all the Bianca designs thus far were all originals? I thought it was understood from the get-go that basically everything design-wise has been lifted from elsewhere? Pretty sure Olson himself has made no assertions that anything released so far HASN'T been a re-approporation of an already existing piece of work. He's also been very very upfront about his influences, to the point of flat-out wearing them on his sleeve (pun intended).
There's a difference between flat out *copying* something, and re-purposing or paying homage / tribute to something.
World Industries did it. Stereo did it. Now Bianca Chandon is doing it. And its fucking RAD. The works he's referencing thru his company's output of clothing, boards etc. has largely gone unnoticed outside of the original niche it was birthed from. So its pretty commendable on Olson's part to take the risk of introducing such foreign concepts/imagery to the skateboard community at large. Bianca is definitely one of the more transgressive things to come out of skateboarding in YEARS.

I understand that companies are gonna reappropriate some shit sometimes but the fact that this companies been out what, less than a year? And every single thing they've put out so far is from somewhere else? How the hell can you guys say this is original? I mean this might as well be called Tumblr skateboards. It's the poster company for the copy and paste mentality of all these bullshit bloggers that somehow think they're creating something by posting all the shit they like that other people created just because nobody else knows about it. Lame.

the brand is sick and im glad he's doing it (still waiting for a promo of some sort) but it isnt really thaaat big of a risk. like i was kinda saying before theres a lot of articles talking about how michael sam and jason collins were outperforming expectations with their jersey sales. maybe they aren't truly the #1 selling jerseys in all of america but theres CLEARLY enough evidence to say that theres a market for it. the way the NFL and NBA are positioning their gay players is proof enough to me. michael sam is getting his own tv show for christs sakes. everyone loves a good adversity story. its definitely a profitable niche market thats growing and its been like that for a couple years and it goes without saying disco has been getting a LOT of play over the same amount of time. it might be transgressive for skateboarding but in the grand scheme of things it's actually on trend.

Since Bianca is like more music inspired I say Olson sampled those logos.

I get what you're saying. I really do. But where - even in any "sport" - has a resepectuful LGBT vibe been done..? ANYWHERE in ANY sport. I dare you to find an example of a brand that re-appropriates LGBT iconography* or culture** in a non-spiteful way. Music, scholarship, sure you can find examples in these disciplines. But skateboarding or even sports generally..? Wether the graphics are lame or not, he really is doing something literally unique right now

You know what's interesting, if you go back to page 9 or 10 of this thread you and ExPoser are patting each other on the back and he's getting called out for pretending he didn't read Sleepy Pancakes post that originally suggests Tumblr Skateboards. are you ExPoser?

No, I am not ExPoser. I probably just saw that Tumblr skateboards thing and forgot about it, honestly. I didn't even realize that I've posted on this topic before. I'm not nearly invested in this forum enough or even the internet in general to put that much effort into trolling you guys. Plus I think trolling in general is one of the lamest things a person can do, really.

You're right, I might as well copyright that and start a brand, it'd still be more original that the shit AO is doing. Way to make a productive counterpoint.

Sorry, no idea what you're talking about. If someone else said something similar to this before that just means we're both on the right track. I hope whatever's going on in your real life gets better. Peace and love.

That's crazy you went back a months worth of posts just to get that one. Idk why you're so hell bent on telling me my opinions aren't my own because that's just not true whatsoever. If you really hate my posts this much why not just block me? It's extremely simple.
No, I am not ExPoser. I probably just saw that Tumblr skateboards thing and forgot about it, honestly. I didn't even realize that I've posted on this topic before. I'm not nearly invested in this forum enough or even the internet in general to put that much effort into trolling you guys. Plus I think trolling in general is one of the lamest things a person can do, really.

I understand that companies are gonna reappropriate some shit sometimes but the fact that this companies been out what, less than a year? And every single thing they've put out so far is from somewhere else? How the hell can you guys say this is original? I mean this might as well be called Tumblr skateboards. It's the poster company for the copy and paste mentality of all these bullshit bloggers that somehow think they're creating something by posting all the shit they like that other people created just because nobody else knows about it. Lame.
It's called curating.

I remember Bloc Party's first album being so good. Kelly came out then the second album sucked ass? Or was it the third?
What I'm trying to say is honeycomb jackoff wank lime.
I don't think he officially ever came out, he just compared himself to a bunch of bi-sexual musicians. Definitely was the third one that sucked, it got super electronic.

Man their first album blew my mind. Was it big in the states??? Australian radio (triple j) love them.
Black, gay, speech impediment... Alex should give Kelly a guest board.

Went to this in May and witnessed Kele DJing with Andy Butler from Hercules and Love Affair...he surprised everyone by actually being a decent DJ and played lots of quality deep house & bassline. Good times.
Also, I would buy the fuck out of a Kele guest board.

I used to love Bloc Party. Then I found out that when Kele was singing about sex and stuff he was singing about DICKS. My 14y.o self had a hard time processing this shit. All good now though. Now gay shit is trendy I have no problem with telling people I have no problem with gays at all.

The belt, from what I can see is possibly the one thing that I don't think warrants it's price as there seems to be nothing unique about it. Pretty sure I could find a similar or identical one elsewhere. But you never know, I am a sucker for YOLO purchases.

You won't believe the struggle I have finding comfortable t shirts that fit correctly with minimal to no branding. $40 US still works out cheaper than most options here. Last I checked American Apparel was a similar price here in London and Uniqlo changed their tees and aren't as good anymore.

I completely sympathize with that struggle. And if AO is doing cut-and-sew now I might be interested. But here's the problem: I'm familiar enough with fashion, brand identity, marketing, etc, to understand that people like me--adult skateboarders who are involved in contemporary fashion, design, etc--are definitely a portion of his target market. And yet I look at the last couple drops and think "wow, this stuff fucking sucks", because while using the language of luxury in skateboarding is something new, that in of itself isn't enough to make most of this genuinely interesting. First board, first couple Ts, bowie board homage; all relatively well conceived and well executed. But a lot of this other crap doesn't really amount to much more than the sum of it's references, "obscure" though some may be. Good fashion, art, design, etc tends to function on multiple levels that make it dynamic and fresh. The more he relies on one liners, the flatter the concept as a whole feels and the less I'm interested in his brand.

I hear you and I agree. To the best of my knowledge these are not cut and sew items but I imagine that he is seeking out a higher standard than your average skate branded clothing. People are quick to complain when Palace releases cut and sew items at what are real world prices but seem excessive in skateboarding but when you know where they're made and the heritage of those makers the price becomes understandable. I'm hoping this is where Alex is heading with Bianca Chandon bu I also recognise that this drop doesn't seem to reference anything coherently other than a "luxury" price. I'm not blindly following but I do like most of it so far and yeah I can fuck with the belt not because I think I need $150's holding my jeans up but because I dig the idea of not having the same belt as everyone else (not that I am rushing out to buy it).

Damn... You went in.
Anyway, if he's doing cut and sew I have a feeling people are gonna buy it no matter what. 3/4 of those people won't skate either.

If AO really wants to push his brand into a really great level (ultra polished) he needs to hire out freelance illustrators and designers whom have a solid vision and timeless look. At least for the boards.
His ideas are strong but I just can't see myself rocking Bianca Chandon gear, it seems that people who are hyped on his clothing are way too into fashion.
Does Dan Drehobl design/illustrate all of the Freedumb Airlines stuff? Drehobl is the man and has brand of clothing that is sick, classic look and killer prices.

There's not really any good reason to compare Freedumb to Bianca Chandon. The only thing I see in common with them is that skaters own them.

There's not really any good reason to compare Freedumb to Bianca Chandon. The only thing I see in common with them is that skaters own them.
It's not a true comparison, it's more-so a subtle point. Being that Freedumb is classic, honest to skateboarding and has a team of all of his homies that are legendary to skateboarding.
Does Bianca truly represent skateboarding in an honest way or a pretentious way? IMO, it's pretentious. Sure, he wants to be artistic and voice his opinions, I just think it can be in so many different ways that aren't so exclusive to just Alex Olson's interests but inclusive to skateboarding and embraces it as a community.
It doesn't seem AO knows how to connect the essence of skateboarding with his interests yet.....as I mentioned before he should consider freelance illustrators/designers for board graphics. It's always good to have an open ended art direction. Classic is the way to go.
I'm sure I will be proven wrong and his products will be worth money one day and auctioned off on eBay for crazy prices.

I get that the end of you statement was a joke. But if your actually wondering what cut & sew means it would be meeting with a garment manufacturer and designing your own pattern and selecting the fabric to make a shirt that you really can't buy anywhere else. Then adding whatever branding/logo. Right now he's just screen printing or embroidering small batches of commercially available shirts. If people think his shirts are overpriced now a small run of cut and sew T shirts would be a reality check. Look at fashion brands and their $120 dollar blank T's.
I think its a waste anyway to go to that effort for a T shirt. There are so many different fits on the market. I've seen some Bianca stuff at the skate park and the fit seems similar to my American Apparel t's. I just buy them when they have the buy 1 get 1 free deals. $12 each is fair for a shirt that fits that good. Im tall and slim so i have to buy xl in other brands so they're long enough but they end up too baggy. I do agree that the recent drops have been uninspiring.

Like most skate groups there is that one friend into dumb shit. In this case it's Diamnod. He's like a junkie for the shit. When those hideous Tiffany dunks were coming out he almost came when he got a pair.
Anyways. He's all about the "cut n sew" stuff they put out. I must admit the tee's look a million times better. Maybe because the logos aren't so big. I asked him about the pricing and he said it wasn't too bad.
Moral of the story is Coco loves Ice.

Well I guess its obvious the people complaining about Bianca's pricing aren't really his target audience.
I don't think he's expecting most people to get it, or even some.
Just a few. Brand awareness is only relevant to some social groups, moms want a Lexus to show off to their friends. Hype beast kids want limited shoes or flashy bright logos from whatever is cool this week.
Sometimes it's the exclusivity that draws people in, others it's knowing some people know they spent ridiculous money on some clothing item.
Then there are the select few who appreciate luxury that exists on such a high plane that 95% of us have no clue about it. People in that rung don't flinch at $100 blank t shirts and $500 shoes that aren't a collab. Alex's venture is geared at the skateboarder equivalent of this.
They genuinely admire him and his concepts, they aren't lurking Marshall's looking for factory seconds or boasting of their latest 6pm come up.
To each their own, but kudos to Mr Olson for trying to do something interesting.

One thing I do like about this type of approach is that if you see someone wearing his stuff at least you would know they are a skater, at this point anyway. Like someone wearing airwalks in 89, be quite ironic if the company took the same trajectory.

Alex is usiNg Robert Green's Law 27 from The 48 Laws of Power. Below is a direct quote.
People have an overwhelming desire to believe in some?thing. Become the focal point of such desire by offering them a cause, a new faith to follow. Keep your words vague but full of promise; emphasize enthusiasm over ra?tionality and clear thinking. Give your new disciples rit?uals to perform, ask them to make sacrifices on your behalf. In the absence of organized religion and grand causes, your new belief system will bring you untold power.

I played this whole scenario in my head where I tell him I'm gay, and I do some gay themed art, and I'd like to work for his company. I pull up some shit on my phone, and he's really into it, and wants me to send him some shit.
In reality, I saw him on the bike, just kind of squinted to make see if it was really him, and then I walked down the stairs to the subway. Also, my "art" is just a bunch of shitty drawings I do when I'm stoned or bored out of my mind at work. :(

Are you really gay or would you be lying about that also?

And as gay as it sounds, AA has better t shirts than Polo.
This is insanely false. Polo rules everything.
AA is a scam. its just ringspun cotton. same shit as gilden soft style, tultex, anvil soft. When i owned a screenprinting shop, i loved when i would talk people out of AA for a tultex.

Yeah. On Monday, in NYC, I met a nice Italian guy (from Italy, not some Jersey guido fuck). He has a Ph.D. in a science and researches at a top university. *swoon*
We blew each other. And then I slept over. He made me espresso in the morning. Are you surprised?
I wasn't.
He's not the first and won't be the last.
You're welcome.
The End.
P.S. Thank you, GAY. I'm love being PHAG - PRETTY HOT AND GAY. But I'm just the gay part.

A gay Italian made me espresso yesterday, he hasn't got a phd and I didn't blow him, he works at the cafe next to where I work. The coffee was excellent.

Bianca Chandon has QUAL-I-TEE's.
Thats mine but you can all use it.
Really though the tshirts are good quality besides whatever you think of the print and the pricetag.
ps Slap is getting real gay its pretty funny not like haha funny but weird in a funny way which i think translaes into something good. Like little jonny can come and read the slap forums and instead off beatin up gays and being angry and depressed he sees how funny and cool dudes like GAY are and they can come out to their crew of other sk8rat homos and make jokes about sucking dick and be accepted like girls that drink beer.

Like I said, it's super plain, but it's a Steve Olsen board and looks like his old setup which is rad. Not saying I'd ever buy it though cause I wouldn't. But on principal I think it's cool that Alex did a board for him.

People have an overwhelming desire to believe in some?thing. Become the focal point of such desire by offering them a cause, a new faith to follow.

In the absence of organized religion and grand causes, your new belief system will bring you untold power.

I'm starting to feel like where never gonna see a full Olson part ever again considering he isn't filming for Chronicles 3. Granted, neither does Malto (injured), P-rod (I assume he'll just give them footage he got with Heath Mo) and Ben Raemers. So possibly their will be a chronicles 4, but who knows.

Don't know how i could forget this, but also Gino doesn't seem to be filming for 3 either and doesn't have a part in the previous videos.

Well, Raemers probably isn't filming for a Nike video because he's on Cons. Just a guess though.
I thought Olson was filming for Chronicles 3? I wouldn't be surprised if there was a four just because their team is so large and they keep adding people. And you're joking that you thought Gino was going to have a part, right?

Totally tripped on that one. Meant to put Ben Raybourn, skate nothing alike but the name similarities caused the fuck up i guess.

I'm 5'10", 180 lbs, and wear the large. They aren't all slim like an American Apparel, but they're not huge either...pretty good size. Not sure if that helps whatsoever, but there it is.

i have the soccer jersey he put out a while ago in a large and it's the smallest large anything i own. i think it's pre shrunk, cause it's a little shorter than everything else i own too. the 917 stuff fits more true to size/loose/like regular skate brand t's.

depending on how loose i guess. it's still loose but just shorter than normal. it might be a little too big if you go xl. it's like some weird in between sizing that wants to force you into slimmer nicer fits.

ya if you want a looser fit you might wanna go a size up. I'm basing this solely on his first run of stuff (Lover tee), so maybe the fit is different on his newer stuff. The shirts fit true to size, but a little slimmer.
