Another apparel line I'm working on is called "Culture Clash", influenced by social, cultural, and sometimes political symbols. I just started publishing the shirts, so check it out! http://www.zazzle.com/shaireproductions*
I've recently discovered the beauty and grace of Anna May Wong, a forgotten starlet in the MGM tradition. She was the first Asian-American woman who stared in feature films in the 1930s+, but like many minorities of her time, she was forced to play stereotypical roles and was restricted from others because of her race and a tradition in old Hollywood known as "yellow face" (where white actors would play Asian characters through makeup and fake accents, as in the movie, "The Good Earth", or "Charlie Chan"). Anna eventually moved to Europe who favored her with less stereotypical and more narrative roles.
I wanted to pay homage to Anna's character and spirit of tenacity and determination.
