Market Studios in Canada — Graphic Streetwear
Market Studios (formerly Chinatown Market) is graphic streetwear with smiley-face DNA and a wide brand-collab vocabulary. The brand's visual language is graphic-loud, character-driven, and unapologetically playful.
Tees, hoodies, hats, and the occasional accessory carry the brand's sensibility across the catalogue. The smiley graphic in its various forms is the brand's signature.

Market Studios in Canada — Graphic-Forward Streetwear
Market Studios — formerly Chinatown Market — is the graphic-forward streetwear brand founded by Mike Cherman in 2016. Rebuilt under the new name in 2022, Market leans into the thing it does best: bold, culturally referential graphic work applied to premium heavyweight garments. Smiley faces, reworked logo graphics, and licensed collaborations with institutions from Disney to the NBA to MoMA have made Market one of the most instantly recognisable graphic streetwear houses.
Gallery Streetwear is a Canadian stockist for Market Studios. We carry the core seasonal drops in our Kelowna store and online across Canada.
What Market Studios makes
- Graphic tees & longsleeves — heavyweight cotton (up to 12oz), puff-printed and screen-printed graphics.

Why Market matters
Market is one of the few brands that genuinely pushed heavyweight-fabric streetwear into the mainstream. The signature 12oz heavyweight tee, the thick-knit cardigans, and the aggressive use of puff-print all trace back to Market's catalogue. The brand's collabs with Disney, NBA, MoMA, Ducati, MLB, and others are fully licensed — no bootleg product.
Market Studios sizing
Market tees run boxy — designed to be worn with a relaxed drape. Stay true for intended fit, size down one if you want fitted. Heavyweight pieces are dense — expect some weight.
Styling Market Studios
Market graphic tees pair with Loviah or Polar Skate Co baggy denim. Market knit cardigans over a Hanes tee with Adidas Samba is a clean, easy rotation.
