At inception - and with an equal measure of intrigue, excitement, and bemusement - I set out to satirically poke fun at the infamous NFT art phenomenon. By creating the Bored Claude Parody Club and my genesis collection of self-portraits (titled 300 Styles), I bridged the gap between the digital and physical worlds with the intention of raising awareness of the destructive nature of mass consumption in the fashion industry.<\/p>
After a relatively successful stint in the NFT scene - and quickly realising that the vast majority of humans involved are purely in it for the moolah - the decision was made to lean further into the narrative and essence of the 300 Styles collection and return to where my true passion lies\u2026looking the nuts in pre-loved clothing.<\/p>
My latest virtuous venture, Appropriation Art APEarel (aaAPEarel), is a guerrilla fashion movement offering extremely limited edition, recyclable, organic cotton POD items, as well as quality pre-loved pieces in the special 1 OFF range. Showing the world once again, that you don\u2019t need to buy new to look the bollocks.<\/p>

Each piece is cleaned, repaired (if needed) and appropriated by my own capable hands via block printing, stitching and hand-painted interventions until it earns the BCPC identity.<\/p> Every piece wears the 1 OFF mark because that's exactly what it is. One of one. No collection drops, no hype, no influencer queueing outside a shop for permission to look different.<\/p> They're sold on Vinted too, deliberately. Why?
