Getting Plastered is Fashionable in Beijing

A T-shirt shop that began in Beijing in 2006 with a dozen square meters of space is now a tried and true brand that sells as far away as the United States and England. That’s the tale of Plastered, where the clothing features images of everything from revolutionary posters to old local ads to street signs, or what is deemed, “the absurd, the beautiful and the glorious of everyday life in China.” How about a T-shirt with a 1970s image of a helmet-less boy happily flying off to outer space on a rocket? Or of a panda with a gun and the slogan “piss off?” Or of the always auspicious Chinese characters for “double happiness?” Plastered offers these and more than 100 other products that are popular with visitors and residents alike. The store is set on bustling Nanluguoxiang, which means you can combine it with snacking and browsing at other nearby shops.
