Apparently, Hollywood Gum is big in France and that’s why this tee is funny, and whilst I wasn’t really on a gum hunt in France last month I don’t remember seeing it during my daily visits to the supermarkets around the St. Tropez Bay, so maybe they’re more of a cult product? So clearly, my understanding of this design doesn’t go past the skills of Piu Piu as an illustrator, and it’s obvious that she’s got that nailed, but since I can’t relate to the pop culture reference them I’m still struggling to get excited about the tee that won LaFraise’s €15,000 competition.

Well, I wouldn’t have picked this as the winner of LaFraise €15,000 contest but I wasn’t a judge, so my opinion counts for nought, but congratulations to Piu Piu anyway on the win. I’m not saying it’s a bad design by any stretch of the imagination, it’s just not the one I would have picked. 5 of the other finalists are going to be printed up as classic tees as well (I called it). Check out the LaFraise blog post regarding the winner to see which those 5 were.
