Les Tien is powered by a timeless unisex collection of essentials, for people across a multitude of demographics.

Introducing the Wish Summer ’19 Collection
We are excited to announce the “Summer ‘19” Wish Collection of concert t-shirts to enhance your festival season. Channeling the spirit of the ‘60s & ‘70s, our hand twisted, tied & dyed “Americana” inspired collection captures the essence of summer. With four styles of multi-color tie-dye & graphic prints, including two glow in the dark options, you’re sure to catch eyes in these fun summer looks.
The awesome thing about tie-dye is that no two pieces ever look the same, highlighting individuality in fashion and allowing people to reclaim some of their personal identity through clothing.
Being popularized in the 1960’s and ‘70s by festival goers and performers alike, tie-dye’s roots are grounded in music and summer. Music icons such as Janis Joplin and Jimmi Hendrix brought the first wave of tie-dye into mainstream popularity. During this time, the hand-made clothing became a symbol of individuality and creative expression. Tie-dye’s current resurgence has been popularized by artists such as Travis Scott and Wiz Khalifa and is quickly taking over high-fashion and streetwear alike.

This past weekend the Wish team embarked on a trip to the “Windy City” to experience a midsummer celebration of fashion, art, and music brought to us by ComplexCon. This edition of ComplexCon was special because this is the first time that they branched out of their usual Long Beach location, in hopes of drawing a more universal crowd. Chicago itself has produced many of the industry’s leading hype generators such as Kanye West, Virgil Abloh, Jerry Lorenzo, Don C and even the GOAT himself, Michael Jordan.
Chicago played host to thousands of eager enthusiasts of all ages ready to get their hands on some exclusive items and fully immerse themselves in all things “cool.” There was a huge representation of Takashi Murikami’s work, along with a number of exclusive pop-up shops. Puma and Reebok definitely made their presence felt with two great activations keeping the masses engaged. Chinatown Market had a great showing as well.
Some notable releases during the event included the Nike Atmos Air Max 1 “Animal 3.0” pack, The Eric Emanuel “Iverson’s”, and the surprise drop of the yellow Nike FOG 1’s. There were a number of good panels featuring industry heavyweights Jon Wexler, Steve Stoute, Joe La Puma, PJ Tucker, T.I. and Killer Mike.
The most special part of the weekend was the attention that ComplexCon shed on Chicago and its up-and-coming culture. Bobby Hundreds and creator of “The Chi”, Lena Waithe, showcased their varsity inspired collection, Chicago stalwart Joe Freshgoods also made an impressive showing with 3 of his brands being represented almost front and center to festival goers. There were also a number of awesome visual artists from the Chicago area, dope upstart brands and local Chicago eateries on tap.
If you’re in the Chicago area, definitely swing by the Museum of Contemporary Art and check out the Virgil Abloh “Figures of Speech” exhibition before it ends September 22, 2019.
Overall, ComplexCon Chicago was a great time. We are looking forward to Long Beach.
