8Days Giveaway: Akufuncture Gear

Posted on December 21, 2011 by jozjozjoz

UPDATE: Congrats to our winners: Joshus Tadayoshi Kimura, Ariel, Pedro Gamuzza, and Sand!

This is part of 8Asians’ 2011 “8Days of Giveaways” Celebration.

Established in 2009, Akufuncture is dedicated to creating Chinese-inspired fashion, riding the fine dichotomy between high fashion and street-wear. The cultural mystique and ancient heroes of China have fueled inspiration in global fashion for generations. Now through stories of journey, luxury, struggle, and romance, Akufuncture aims to create a clothing line that brings to life a culture with much influence, and to tell the historical and cultural stories this influence has transpired from.

In historical China, during the Qing dynasty, an emperor commissioned the production of an extravagant yellow dragon robe. Made from the best silks and embroidered with colorful and elaborate patterns, this robe would signify a major milestone for the foundation of fashion in China and would become the first of numerous influential looks to come. From the opulence of traditional embroidered silks to the iconic image of the chic 1930’s Shanghai women, to refined military inspired looks, Chinese fashion has often extended its influence to the rest of the world. And now? By re-imagining the traditional mediums of the brushstroke, the thread, and the silk, Akufuncture now works to redefine Chinese fashion – by fusing over 5,000 years of rich history with modern-day expression.

Over at GASP!, we loved how their Guardian Lion shirt lets guys “stand up proud and show off your suave Asian American manliness.”

About jozjozjoz

jozjozjoz is a taiwanese-american gal who lives and blogs underneath the hollywood sign and who doesn’t clean her fishtank unless the fish starts to do the backstroke. she is also able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but cannot stop from bumping into door handles, cabinet doors, and anything else that protrudes or has a sharp edge. she does not run with scissors for this same reason. she can pet the fur off a dog but don’t ask her to go anywhere near a horse. or a moth. or a roach. her dealings with L.A.’s finest (aka the parking violations department) are legend, as are her giant sneezes. Other than the two too many joz’s, jozjozjoz is a perfectly normal, relatively sane individual who defies the odds, reaches for the stars, and carries moonbeams home in a jar. She’d rather be a fish… but not in her own dirty fishtank. http://www.jozjozjoz.com
