Edison Chen's Limited Stephen Chow Shirts a Big Hit

Sunday July 8, 2007 Hong Kong

Caption: Many people waited outside Edison Chen's store to buy a limited edition of a Stephen Chow shirt.

Since introducing his own apparel label, Clot, Edison Chen Koon Hei collaborated with Stephen Chow Sing Chi to create a limited edition of a Clot Dragon Worker Shirt and fast-food worker t-shirt.

The shirts feature several of Stephen's classic lines such as, "You don't wear clothes this way!" and "It's a waste of my breath talking to you!" The shirts are targeted towards a trendy, young crowd.The shirts went on sale yesterday at 12 noon. However there was only a limited release of 400 shirts. Many fans slept in front of Edison's stores the night before to make sure they were the first on line to purchase the shirts.

More than a dozen people lined up in front of the stores. The police came to disband the customers, to prevent possible chaos breaking out.

Several imitation versions of the Clot Dragon shirts have cropped up for sale on the internet. The t-shirts also feature Stephen Chow's classic lines, priced from $99 to $200 (HKD). This was vastly cheaper than the original Clot Dragon shirts, which cost $680 (HKD).

Edison's representative, Mr. Ngai was aware of the imitation versions available online, but urged fans to support the original Clot Dragon shirt.

Edison is currently not in Hong Kong. Since Stephen Chow was worried about possible chaos on the shirts' first day of sale, he did not make a personal appearance.
