Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH), the conglomerate that owns many of the world’s best-known luxury brands, has just invested in a startup called Madhappy that, on the surface, doesn’t seem like any other brands in its wheelhouse. 法国酩悦·轩尼诗-路易·威登集团拥有世界很多知名奢侈品牌,最近投资了一个初创公司Madhappy,从表面上看它和其他品牌都不一样。 The two-year-old brand, founded by four twentysomething buddies in Los Angeles, creates streetwear that is centered on optimism. Cofounder Peiman Raf says that the brand is on a mission to make the world a more optimistic place by creating conversations around mental health. 这个创办两年的品牌由4个二十多岁的年轻人在洛杉矶创立,推出以乐观为主题的街头服饰。联合创始人Peiman Raf称该品牌要通过引发关于心理健康的讨论,使全世界变得更乐观。 “Growing up, we found that many streetwear labels seemed to be very exclusive, and we wanted to create a brand that was the opposite of that,” he says. “But we want to take it a step further and start conversations about mental health. Many of our events are focused on talking about mental health issues that most people don’t often talk about publicly.” 他说:“我们长大以后发现很多街头服饰品牌都很高端,我们想打造不一样的品牌。但我们想进一步激发人们关于心理健康的讨论,我们很多活动主题都是人们不常在外聊的心理健康问题。” |
