SHALAJ

South Korean streetwear brand SHALAJ was founded by designer Shalaj Poonyarit, who views clothes as wearable modern art with a strong sense of self-expression. By incorporating symbolic motifs and surrealist graphics, the label adds an extra layer of depth and meaning which can be unpacked by the wearer. You’ll be sure to make a statement in SHALAJ’s playful prints, which subvert everyday objects and animal cartoon characters into malevolent creatures for a dark undertone. Expect sporty jerseys, such as hoodies and T-shirts, some of which are rendered in premium Supima cotton for an exceptionally soft handle.
