Debut T-Shirt Line: Kōan Clothing

January 31st, 2009

Kōan Clothing is a new street-wear brand whose goal is to produce wearable artwork that not only has a strong visual impact, but a positive impact on the local community as well.

Debut T-Shirt Line: Kōan Clothing

Created in 2008 by Allison Torneros, Cyrus Tinati and Graham Jordan, three aspiring young entrepreneurs, Kōan set out to be more then just your average urban brand, they wanted to create “Thought Provoking Style”.

The word “Kōan” is in reference to the Zen Buddhist practice of a teacher presenting his student with a paradox to contemplate. No paradox, or “Kōan”, has one correct answer. Instead it is meant to elicit a meditation that challenges an individuals awareness of their thoughts and perception of the world.

Kōan intends to keep with their philosophy and donate a portion of their profits to local San Francisco non-profit organizations. This year Kōan gives to Youth Uprising in Oakland, CA. Youth Uprising is housed in a 25,000 sq. ft. state of the art building and offers a wide range of programs and services that develop youth leadership in order to transform the community.

Kōan Clothing will be producing a full line of their own tees, as well as limited edition collaborations with some of the world’s top artists to create unique designs, each t-shirt being the visual manifestations of their own self-made koans.

These special edition tees, as well as a few more standard styles from Kōan should be expected at the end of March.

To promote their soft launch they’re offering a $6 off promotion after 1/28. Please check out their website.

I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve
hit the nail on the head. The issue is an issue that not enough people are speaking
intelligently about. I’m very happy I stumbled
across this during my search for something regarding this.

I think everything said made a lot of sense. However,
think about this, suppose you wrote a catchier title? I mean, I don’t want to tell you how
to run your website, however what if you added a title that makes people want more?
I mean tshirt : iloveyourtshirt : t-shirt blog » Debut T-Shirt Line: K_an Clothing is a little vanilla.
You should peek at Yahoo’s home page and see how they write article titles to get viewers to click.
You might add a related video or a pic or two to grab readers excited about everything’ve got to say.
In my opinion, it would make your blog a little bit more interesting.

May I simply just say what a comfort to uncover an individual who truly understands what they are talking about over the
internet. You actually know how to bring an issue to
light and make it important. More and more people really
need to check this out and understand this side of the story.
It’s surprising you are not more popular given that you most certainly
possess the gift.
