Wasted Dpt Store 66 rue Saint Denis
Wasted is a young independant parisian brand,
created in July 2012 by Johann Liebel and Xiang
Fang Ye. After several years of experience at
Noir Kennedy, a rock influenced parisian store,
those two music lovers decided to create their
own brand. Wasted was born out of their shared
passions for skate, music and underground movements of the nineties.
The brand owns two shops in Paris:
Collection AW-16

Division, Depeche Mode and Oasis…

prints and embroidered on Hoodies
