Designs by Jonathan Nicol and Aya Kato are the latest additions to the t-shirt section of the Beautiful/Decay online shop. These are large print tees of superior designs. I especially love the Aya Kato piece myself. The tees are US$29.95 each.

Fourteen worldwide designers and ten top-notch Japanese designers have come together to fight it out in the T-1 World Cup competition. The tee of the bunch that sells the most will be dubbed the “T-1 WORLD CUP Champion T-shirt” rendering its desiger the title “T-1 WORLD CUP Champion”

The shirts are up for sale until July 1st and they will be shipped out sometime in August. Te are priced to 4,952¥, whic is just over US$40, shipping not included.

Sometimes I know I’m shopping for a new tee, but I don’t feel like checking into hundreds of places to get one…


With 2K t-shirts this isn’t even an issue. They stock a massive quantity of decent t-shirt designs from a large list of artists. With names like Yoshitomo Nara, Tom Sachs, Yoko Ono and Experimental Jetset in the fridge you’re bound to find something you like.

The shirts are genereally US$35 a pop, and they also have Grab Bags if you dare.

Don’t miss out on this chance to get some awsome threads on the cheap as Crowded Teeth are having a summer sale to work up funds for their upcoming fall/winter collection.

A good portion of their designs are now cut by 38%, retailing at a mere $15 a tee. The shirt base is American Apparel, and there are pieces out there for both guys and girls. Among my personal favorites are the various pattern prints. I actually ordered the Teru Teru Bozu hoodie even though it is only available in women’s large, hoping it will pass as a guy’s small. I hope it works out.

Here is another source out of the eastern regions of the world that is toatlly lost on me. The only things I gather is that there are a lot of nice pieces on the Uniqlo site for both ladies and gents, and that they are extremely modeartely priced at ¥990, which currently is about US$9. If anyone can make more out of this please leave a comment below.

We’ve got an exclusive preview from Dadawan of the sparkling new summer collection from the wonderful Visible Elephant 47. These new shirts from the amazing Japanese designer Chichi in NYC look utterly awsome. These are designs in Japanese tradition made totally accessible for western living.

I’ve been it touch with the people of the awsome underground culture magazine Beautiful/Decay. They have pointed me in the direction of the new additions to their shop, and more specificly in the mens clothing section wher they have some smashing new stuff of their own alongside an impressive gallery of tees from other outfits. Beautiful/Decay don’t do their own designing though, they hook up with the hottest names already out there. Their recent additions include designer names Sasha Lee, Saiman Chow, Aya Kato and last but never least Skwak.

These new tees are $29.95 a pop, and prices for the other stuff is around and about the sub $20 to $35 mark. Prepare for stuff form Cryinn’ Tiger, Johnny Cupcakes, I-Manifest and lots of others.

Large print shirts are everywhere these days, and aren’t we blessed for it? Orisue have also gone this way when designing their latest crop. These origami inspired pieces are something to consider. Multiple colours per design, and pop art meets eastern siplicity in western motifs. What more is the pop art styled portraits on famous historical figures from modern times. The Dali Lama, Albert Einstein and Malcom X are all represented.

There is no word on price range, but you will find a list of stickists here.

Designed by Andrio Abero and printed by Monsieur T. limited to the number of 48 pcs, you had better be quick be you a fishing fanatic. This catch (sorry about that pun, guys) is released on heather grey 50/50 cotton/poly for guys, and white 100% cotton for gals. Both gender’s tees have a silver foil printed label in the neckline.

Seibei Industries deliver a nice mix of the funny and the fun. Some of these shirts are just on the edge, but still without becoming too goofy. They are simple but effective.

I really love the sandwich dino piece and the “You Know What’s Great About The Bay?” design is just awsome. Keep your eye out for these guys. Shirts are a dazzling $14 a piece screenprinted on Anvil (which I have never tried).
