THINKPINK
D
id you know that pink is the color of warriors? The Japanese culture, which, tracing back to its roots, regards the color pink as a symbol of masculinity. The inspiration came from the Japanese cherry blossoms, blooming in spring, representing young Japanese warriors who had fallen in battle in the prime of their life.....the samurai. In this way, pink is referenced as a color of masculine pride and honor.
This month, we endeavor to share the color pink with the American Man. In their own right, they are our American Samurai working hard for our American families. Here, we show real men, in real walks of life, each highlighted representing their unique occupations and lifestyles. We’ve styled them in pink to show support for our women struggling with breast cancer and to show you that real men DO wear PINK!
