BONNIE’S
From LA to BK, it's all love. Finery got down with Calvin Eng of Bonnie's to design a custom shirt for his Williamsburg spot serving up his much lauded Cantonese American food. We had a huge respect for what he was doing back east with food and apparently he felt the same of us when it came to our Anti-Uniforms out west.
We wanted to highlight our shared Asian-American backgrounds. We took inspiration from the Chinatowns of the early 1900s to present day- the pinks of the pastry boxes being run down the street in front of the red lanterns above was the only visual we needed when designing this shirt.
1 MINUTE WITH CALVIN…
Worst uniform you’ve ever had to wear.
I usually like uniforms because i don't have to think about what to wear lol. in high school i was a banquet server for weddings, bar mitzvahs, events etc and I would have to wear a tux that they supplied. it was so baggy and crazy looking on me it was wild
What do you usually wear when you’re not behind a fire?
my mom, dads or sisters old clothes. or restaurant merch of places i fuck with
1 piece of clothing you can’t live without.
a hat. if i'm in a rush this hair needs one. if i'm working with food i'm always wearing one anyway
1 inspiring thing you saw this week.

Other than Bonnie’s, where should I eat in NY?
