Let’s face it : Either you are politically committed, an old sandboxes black panther, the Che Gevara of the Carpathian Mountains…
Or you have a hobby which you will never dare to admit to your mother .. and I would personally never shake your hands.

Actifist by Sehubabe.

Sir Francelot is the first t-shirt of the new Chop Shop t-shirt line !

In 1994, 3 major historical facts: Roberto Baggio gives away the football world cup to Brasil by miserably missing his penalty kick, Canada is the curling world champion and…… Ayrton Senat crashes into a wall on the Imola circuit.

IMOLA 94 by Sehubabe, Che viva lo sport!

Sehubabe is one of those words with a Scandinavian spelling, a Scottish pronunciation, yet for sure a Belgian significance.

Founded by 4 old friends, the main inspiration of Sehubabe is really to federate a maximum of people around a community essentially concerned about conscientious consumption.

The expression mode is quite simple and symbolic: the T-shirt.

The screen-printed visuals represent the politically censored, the artistically attractive, the musically synchronous, the intuitively disturbing … everything being based on sustainable development principles. As a matter of fact, Sehubabe’s T-shirts (brand: American Apparel) are guarantee “Fair trade” and the manufacturing/printing/delivery processes are ecologically examined.

To make a long story short, with a soberly unconventional website design and with charismatically unmatched T-shirts, Sehubabe surely differentiates itself from what can be found on the web.

Very shortly the website will migrate to a more “active consumer” type of system, opening itself to free participation of anyone. In other words: coming soon a blog and a sharing space for the creation of T-shirts anytime more disconcerting …

Kiser is a clothing brand whose shirts, jackets and hoodies were born in the streets and since, have gone far beyond their beginnings. Kiser Haydar Barnes began selling his unique graffiti-inspired apparel while dodging police officers on the streets of downtown New York City. His line has since evolved into a distinct graphic-design/fashion art form that emphasizes the concept of “Hunt Beauty.”

Kiser’s pursuit of truth and originality has lead him to create a series of one-of-a-kind, politically-charged designs. His pursuit can best be described by his image of a flower alongside AK-47 guns. The guns reflect the destructive potential in us that is tamed by the creative spirit represented by the flower. In effect, a peaceful revolution. His style focuses primarily on the search for this type of beauty in the ever-changing Graphic Life in which we live.

Born in Nigeria, raised in Israel and educated at The Rochester Institute of Technology, Kiser’s art has blossomed into its own visual language. Kiser’s “Hunt Beauty” images are inspired by Hip-Hop, Middle-Eastern and African cultures which he blends together to form a symphony of universally relevant designs.

His fashion is INTENSE COMPLEX AND DEEPLY INTELLECTUAL . sometimes IT IS political, sometimes IT IS playful BUT IT IS always about balance. Kiser’s eclectic style has lead him to collaborate on projects with the likes of Chloe, DJ A-Trak, HBO, The Brooklyn Circus and Timberland among others.

His current apparel line is featured in over 30 stores internationally and online. His shirts, and their designs, have been acclaimed by publications such as URB, Guys, Nylon, Source, GQ, Cargo, and Complex magazines …

Keith, Turtlehead:

Turtlehead are a collective based in Ireland with one eye on the establishment, another on the subversive and another on stuff we like.

Yes, we have three eyes! We make quirky t-shirts that we are proud of that we love to see people wearing. We started up in 2006 with 6 t-shirts designed by Keith Walsh and a year later we have 7 artists and 15 designs.

We officially launched at Ireland’s coolest music festival - Electric Picnic, where we will be celebrating our first birthday this September.

From last month we are launching one t-shirt a month every month which are designed by artists from all over the world. Each t-shirt is designed exclusively for turtlehead. We started with Scottish artist David Shrigley in July, and this month we are launching Irish artist Chris Judge.

So far team turtlehead consists of : Keith Walsh, David Shrigley, Will St Leger http://www.willsaint.com/
Dave Comiskey, Chris Judge, Laurina Paperina, Chris Haughton.

Clinton, HeadHoods :

HeadHoods all started while drinking what I think was an abnormally good cup of coffee while designing at a low paying yet prestigious graphic design position in New York City.

It was cold out and I was probably wearing the ever so popular blazer / hooded sweatshirt combo and was thinking to myself “the hood, what an unutialized piece of fabric” and then suddenly thought to myself.

“well wouldn’t it be interesting if somebody printed a proportional profile of a face on the hood of a sweatshirt?, It would almost be like putting on another identity when you walked to work or went about your daily business.”

Working and living in New York City, sadly enough it is all about ones identity. So I ran with the idea of HeadHoods and am in the process of having a lot of fun with it. I personally love how this particular concept of clothing interacts with the public.

While working a full time job designing book jackets (another low paying job) and playing alot of music (a non paying job), I also run a clothing line and that clothing line is called Headhoods.

So since 3 years ago, I have been compiling and manipulating different style faces from old catalogues / old postcards / old magazines while thinking about this idea of printing faces on hoods.

I never even would have dreamed of starting my own line and thought that if anything I would be collaborating with somebody with this idea.

I’ve approached several  people and all of them thought the idea didn’t go well with their existing line. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and start HeadHoods myself.

I eventually relearned the art of silkscreening and the whole process behind it and fabricated what I like to call a silkscreen factory in my apartment.

This allows me to have full control of the line. I feel I am at the very tip of the iceberg and have big plans for HeadHoods.

I have many faces and ideas I am looking forward to introducing to the line.

HeadHoods are currently only available online through the website I plan on selling HeadHoods in boutiques and stores in the very near future and am working with potential European distributor as well, but until then they are only available online.

Now is your last chance to get your favorite Nerdy apparel on sale.

Sale ends tonight at midnight PST.
