company founded in 1985. Marketed primarily toward teens and young adults, the brand was particularly fashionable during the late 1980s
and early 1990s
with its selection of athletic-styled T-shirts and sweatshirts. B.U.M. went on to make a considerable influence on street fashion
of that era and, despite problems in the mid-1990s, has continued operating today.
Design director Morty Forshpan takes credit for exploiting the company's full potential; however, some industry analysts believe that Seattle native Derek Federman was the creative mind behind B.U.M.'s athletic style and logo presentation, almost a year before Forshpan took over as majority shareholder and chief executive officer of Chauvin.
