Beautiful / Decay
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.
Folded in Technicolor: Orisue
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.
Hands on Bean Dip
A big thanks for the guys over at Bean Dip Clothing For hooking us up with these:
The good people of Bean Dip Clothing have sendt us some sweet samples of their handmade print-per-order tees. The guys tee is a heavyweight Gildan- sporting a halftoned image of the late Biggie and 2pac, while the girlie is a boom box themed supersoft Royal Apparel custom sliced piece. The printing is done in the superior mannor of water based ink, which renders a soft print that blends with the fabrique rather than lay on top, like the plastisol ink does.
Be sure to head over and check out the Bean Dip site. As everything is done to order, you can chose the colour you want, too you know. Shirts are $18 a piece for blokes and $21 for birds. They sport some killer hoodies, too.
Jason Woodside: Aristic Tees
While strolling around through Bean Dip Cloting’s friends section (where we are also listed), I came accross two really nice tees on the store page of Jason Woodside’s site. These shirts sell for $20 in S to XL, and they are probably printed in limited runs.
My favorite is the “City Tee” design. There is actualy some graffiti near to where I live that looks a lot like this.
Big Sale at Krudmart
Addic[tee]d writes that Krudmart are having a great big blow out, and a large section is now 30%-70% off. There is a lot of good stuff out there by the likes of Fuct, Tank Theory, Brown Sound and Commonwealth Stacks amongst others and the prices are nice.
Spring at Mishka NYC
Yet another great label have got their spring collection out there …Well not really but you can preview Mishka’s new stuff at Inquiring Mind and at the same time read an interview with the guys behind the gear. I really love their re-do of one of my all time favorite band shirts, the 1990 Sonic Youth “Goo” album cover t-shirt with the altenate text “Chronic Youth” printed on red cotton.
Answer Tees
Photographer and graphic artist Will Bankhead teamed up with his mate Emmet Keane and created Answer. You should not be sorry, because they create great looking tees. I really love their divesity and playful expressions.
You can find Answer tees at a variety of locations including these:
The shirts are about £29 at most locations, and here is an interview with Mr. Bankhead at Lodown Magazine.
Beandip
This label has some really nice stuff up there. Designs tend to fill the shape of the shirts rather than sit on the middle of your chest. Beandip The handmake the products on order with water based inks on soft cotton. They retail tees at $18 and hoodies at $48. Accessoires are available, and shipping seems to be $2.50 in the US. No word on Int’l shipping though.
Divine: out of the box
Bill Pyle though his clothing company Divine Clothing has finally rolled out his new line. There is some nice stuff out there, and shirts are only $16 a go. Everything is hand screened in Deptford, NJ by the man himself. Still to come: one of a kind hoods and tees as well as handbags. All this and a new site.
Nossa
It is like a blend of NY and Brazil. NYC based t-shirt design outfit Nossa prodeces sweet hard graphic clothing with an appropriate soundtrack. Retailed by a number of venues like Turntable Lab, Produkt and Karmaloop, Nossa even have their own online outlet.
Besides from making tees and plying Baile Funk, these guys also seem to though a mean party. Just check out the images in the gallery section of their site.
