Refuse Club

“Salon des Refusés,” a mid-19th century exhibition in Paris which showcased paintings that were rejected for being too scandalous by the official Paris Salon. Taking its name from the historic Salon des Refusés, Refuse Club is a place to share uncompromising aesthetics and diverse cultural/ political conversations. Zhou and Shao hope to challenge social mores through Refuse Club. The brand is also a platform for community and a display of solidarity with #MeToo victims in China, where conversations about sexual harassment and assault are more likely to be silenced or ignored than in the U.S and other liberal states.
