POST COVID

The Reveal of BIKINI 1.0

During April of 2023 CNTI was set on attending an 18+ convention in Las Vegas. While still selling towards the anime community, CNTI wanted to use this opportunity of vending outside of California for the first time. The team came up with the idea of curating a custom product to not only cater towards the 18+ adult anime theme, but to also create a product heading towards the futurism/tactical techwear look. Thus creating the BIKINI 1.0. This would later become CNTI's first statement piece as it was the first custom piece they had made outside the grapic apparel. This would show the diverse styles of not only the harness but for the owner to start showcasing how to style clothing line to their fellow "Agents".

THE FLCL INSPIRATION 2021

CNTI origins dates back to the COVID era when anime events and merchandised brands started to arise. From the saturated crowd of anime merchandise start ups, CNTI themselves were inspired by Fooly Cooly and uses the anime's industrial mechanic aesthetic as inspiration to curate their own original look. In 2021 CNTI would drop 2 character designs inspired from the anime while releasing an original design still using the inspiration from the anime. From the start of their first official apparel drop, CNTI would be known to sell some bootleg anime merchandise themselves while developing their brand.

Given that the first official release of their apparel was anime merchandise, CNTI's marketing would show a different way of wearing casual graphic shirts in a more stylish way using Kurowear and Techwear as examples when the rise of the "Cyberpunk" look was trending.
