“Ballin in Los Angeles” SnapBack Hat Alex & Chloe OSFM NWT Rare Trucker Hat

“Ballin Los Angeles” SnapBack Hat Alex & Chloe OSFM NWT Rare Trucker Hat Circa 2013 (a play on the Balmain logo)  The design that ended Alex & Chloe   Brian Lichtenberg sued his brother Chris CEO of Alex and Chloe over the Ballin designs.  The court ordered Alec & Chloe to stop selling these designs, making this a very rare hard to find hat. Brian only created the designs as Ballin in Paris  This is one of the few hats that exists out in the wild, and is not just a piece of fashion history but a really cool statement piece to wear   Brian Lichtenberg says a conversation with Kanye West about the word Ballin inspired him to parody the designer Balmain with the slang phrase Ballin or Ballin Paris. He allegedly hand-sketched the design in his day planner notebook on Jan. 30, 2013.  (weirdly I actually photographed Brian for LA weekly 12 years ago right before this happened. I included my photo of him in this listing just for the fun of it )  ************ All items sold are finds sourced from estate sales and thrift stores in the Hollywood area of Southern California.
