Andy, shirt:

“I am pretty sure everyone is sick of cute and cuddly animals so, why not start the new year with a otter with tude. I really love this tee’s concept and imagery.

This shirt is really just one more step in the rethink plan this year to release an abundance of the unique and solely college artist designed shirts.

DISCLAIMER ( Rethink does not condone animals smoking or the smoking of animals, you know what I mean…)”

Dripping in Fat is an ideal… one of making the world a better dressed place… with design conscious threads that self-appreciative people will wear with pride.

James, Dripping in Fat:

“We have recruited some of the best designers from around the globe to make visual statements that you can wear every day. Hopefully there will be something for you… and if there isn’t then there will be soon, as we plan to keep adding to our collection. Making it the first place to hit if you’re looking for that something special.

DiF is a small but focused company, which has set extremely high standards for itself. From customer service to the quality of it’s products. We want all DiF customers to be 100% happy and to make this happen we will always try and answer any question you have about DiF and it’s products… Although we would like to help in all areas of life I’m afraid we aren’t qualified to help in other matters such as medical diagnosis, relationships or construction…

We care about the design. We care about cool products. Two of the founders of DiF are Creative Directors of 15 years standing. One of the founders has to be wrestled out of his tee and into a suit for client meeting… It’s against his philosophy… but, unfortunately, a necessary evil…

So there you are. A company that gives a toss about what it does and how it goes about it. Now go check out our tees, buy one, two or more… buy them for your friends… buy them for strangers… and be happy”.

Spread the love… welcome to the DiF community.

Seventyseven has grown to become the UK’s premium streetwear label, known for their bright and eye-catching designs and functional collections. Those who covet that something different to stand out from the masses should look no further. This is great British streetwear, all designed and distributed on home soil.

The fabulous new Spring/Summer 09 Seventyseven products include the tri-colour windbreaker jacket, available with orange, green or black detail, the new retro polo tee shirt, and a selection of unique denim wear.

Alongside this you’ll find the ever-expanding brand new range of accessories, which includes wallets, bags, rucksacks, belts and beanies.

This year Seventyseven are pleased to be continuing their involvement at the twice yearly Southport Weekender festival, the first in May and the other in November, which sees the label getting involved with both artists and organisers to bring to the people one of Europe’s best loved and most diverse indoor music events.

Seventyseven can be purchased from Seventyseven online or from an extensive range of independent retailers which can be found under the stockist’s section.

The label currently delivers two full seasonal collections a year plus mid-season injection ranges where brand spanking new styles and additional colourways are continually added to the range, so be sure to check back to the site regularly to view the updated products and happenings.

The time has arrived for Toronto-based independent clothing company Crywolf to unleash their Spring 2009 designs into the wild world.

On February 1st the dedicated duo added 14 new shirt designs to their online store, while discontinuing most of their 2008 collection.

Part of Crywolf’s appeal is that their designs are available for a limited time and hand-printed, allowing you to sport something truly unique, covetable and collectable.

Crywolf’s 2009 designs very much follow the quirky and imaginative tone of their previous collections. A werewolf sporting geeky glasses, an attack of zombie bunnies and raccoons disguised as flying bats are a few of the new whimsical creations.

Rose & Steph, Crywolf:

“The world can be a dark place, we like to keep things light-hearted” says one of the owners Stephanie, of the tone of the new designse.

Although discontinued and only a few left, discontinued 2008 designs will be available at a discounted price on the website until they are sold out.

Crywolf’s products are available in some retail locations in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and are quickly expanding. We only limit our carriers to one per city.

If interested in carrying Crywolf please email them.

The Face of Honesty and Evil

Once again blessing us with its beacon of light, science has recently uncovered findings of immeasurable value to everyone from used car salesmen to Casanovas.

Two different research teams, independent of each other, have developed computer generated images that settles the score on an ancient mystery: what the worlds most evil and most honest faces look like!

Design By Eem

Eem is the design studio of Emmanuel Bossuet & Marie Laure Bellanger. They are perhaps best known for their luxury-oriented work for high-end jewelry and fashion brands such as Cartier, Sonia Rykiel and Swarovski.

“For this issue they’ve created a ‘mask’ print with inspiration from the manner of Italian Renaissance, but interlaced with a radiating pattern.

The aim of this conception was to reveal the interaction between the cognitive processes and the universal seek for decorative — i.e. logic — structures in nature. What’s in a decor? The engaging stimulus conveying harmony or just its exact opposite, the signal of very immediate danger? One could wonder… especially when strolling through Château de Versailles.”

“Tod in Rente” is the first Contest Winner Shirt designed by David Seydel.

ABT reprinted their collaboration contest winner “ABT vs DE-BUG“.
A famous german electronic print magazine. Also available on Hoodies.

Martin, Yackfou:

“It‘s well known, that it‘s not easy to satisfy all the different needs of the people. But very hard was this for the dainty womankind; because the t-shirt as a basic style for everybody can‘t maintain its position, when the time asks for other fashion styles like more cutouts or narrower collars, longer or shorter sleaves or different garments and colors.

And so we have the heart to step a little closer to fashion and release some new styles only for women.

There are new; from Hooded Longsleeves, T-Dress (dressy t-shirt), Hoody Dress (dressy hoody) to a 3/4 Sleave Boat Neck Shirt we satisfy all the female needs.

Urban Industry Store is starting its ‘Special Works’ project for in house and collaboration designs and products.

Dan, Urban Industry:

“After stocking some of street wear’s most sought after brands for 7 years we’ve decided to get creative ourselves and with some of our closest friends for a range of limited
edition prints which will run through out the coming years as and when they
are completed”.

The t-shirts included are,

The Brandiodic Table - a ‘chemical analysis’ of street wear brands starting
on one side with original sneaker brands and on the other with the
originators of US street wear such as Stussy, Freshjive, Xlarge etc.

CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT, a strong typographic print with a computer based slant.

And Urban Industry’s take on the KAWS style with the micky mouse hands throwing up a U and an I…

Expect to see collaborations soon with Polands Turbokolor, Carhartt and
others.
