Overview

BLUE CHIP is a fashion and product brand launched in Japan in 2009 by designer and artist Akira Aoki. Drawing on American culture, it offers clothing, graphic T-shirts, bags, tableware, coffee-related lifestyle goods, and more. The brand name “BLUE CHIP” means “valuable” or “first-rate,” and the brand is committed to creating products for American culture enthusiasts and younger generations who have yet to encounter the real thing. In 2017, the brand was stocked at the Paris select shop Colette and also developed lines such as GOOD NEIGHBORS SHIRTS.

While BLUE CHIP’s overall range covers apparel, this line focuses exclusively on shirts, centering on “7DAYS SHIRTS” and emphasizing designs for everyday wear and tailoring by Tokyo artisans. It is now handled under an independent shirt brand name by major retailers and fashion media, and is positioned as a line with a specialization distinct from BLUE CHIP’s main collection.
