Gianni Lee Studio — “Hood Chinese Store” Tee (Limited Edition)
Release Year: 2025
A tribute to the cornerstones of urban culture — the independently owned Chinese takeout spots that defined city blocks and late nights. The “Hood Chinese Store” tee merges nostalgia, pop art, and community storytelling in a bold, limited-edition release from Gianni Lee Studio.
Front Design:
Inspired by hyperlocal signage aesthetics, the front features a mock storefront advertisement in bold red, yellow, and blue — complete with a fictional phone number and address, making it feel like an artifact pulled straight from the block. It’s a playful nod to the bootlegged flyers and handmade signs that once dominated windows of mom-and-pop shops.
Back Design:
Three vibrant portraits channel the energy of classic pop icons through the raw lens of street art, placed like taped-up posters on a wall. Below, “GIANNI LEE STUDIO – 2025 – LIMITED EDITION” anchors the drop, followed by the commanding text: HOOD CHINESE STORE in rich red.
Each shirt is screen-printed on heavyweight black cotton for a premium fit and feel — a wearable art print that celebrates the spirit of everyday legends, creativity, and cultural fusion.
All shirts will be hand-signed by Gianni Lee, making each piece a unique collector’s item.
