Very excited today because I bought my first t-shirt with crazy English printing. Just as American fashions might bear French words or Chinese characters to lend them a certain cachet, Asian fashions will feature English words the same way. And, just as Americans sometimes don't use foreign words correctly, Asians using English in a fashion or advertising context can create some surreal results. Reproduced here, verbatim, is the printing on the front of my new shirt:Let the twistedmind who give you the full overview on what happens in the international fashion world We are innovative product developers We observer and ready to grasp anything interesting innovative and avant-garde We carefully create products that we hope our consummers recognize as tomorrow's classicsmotivate. activate innovate Under the concept "Functional comfortable" We have developed the wear in various materials and colours. That is both Comfortable and Functional Also we make balance between traditional culture and modernization
I adore this kind of playing around with language, using words like images to create an attitude or an atmosphere. It's fun to do in one's native language, and even more fun to see how non-native speakers do it. I look forward to acquiring more such items for my collection, and for posting here.
