Blake's Take: Fashion Icon El Chapo Sparks New Rage in Dress Shirt Culture

Future Vogue fashion editor and drug kingpin, El Chapo, has changed local L.A. streetwear forever. Men’s clothing store, Barabas Men, has begun selling dress shirts inspired by the fashion choices of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán.

According to TMZ, Los Angeles based clothing store Barabas Men have been inspired by the recently captured drug lord El Chapo. They have started selling two dress shirts based off of photos from El Chapo’s Rolling Stone interview with Sean Penn. And if there was any confusion if the shirts were inspired by Mr. Chapo, the store uses El Chapo’s picture on their website to sell the shirts:

They are calling the two shirts, ‘Fantasy’ and ‘Crazy Paisley’. Fantasy is “filled with an abstract design that makes it stand out” and Crazy Paisley is “definitely one to wear on a night on the town.”

If you want to purchase one of the shirts, or both!, they’ll cost you a cool $128. But you’ll have to wait, BarabasMen.com has crashed due to the demand. Stay tuned for updates on El Chapo’s Spring/Summer ’16 line.
