Bianca Chandon
With the desire to mix the worlds of skateboarding and fashion, pro-skater Alex Olson launched Bianca Chandon in 2014. The label’s name a reference to both Studio 54 socialite Bianca Jagger and French race car driver and heir to the Moët et Chandon empire Olivier Chandon de Brailles, indeed, its menswear collections draw much of their inspiration from the easy swagger and revelry of 70s counter culture. Apart from raucous 70s New York clubs and the fitted outfits of golden age California skaters, Olson’s label looks towards the ‘anti-fashion’ aesthetics of early 90s Purple magazine and late 80s voguing culture, bringing about a unique merging of styles.
