For an added bonus this Spring, uber cool streetwear label Projekts NYC have launched a stunning new T shirt collection, which will without doubt get ‘The Bossman’ strutting all the way to cool city!

Using the unique inspiration, which comes from the culture and ambience of life on the streets of Brooklyn, the new collection brings a unique style to street fashion. Using the now infamous 8 image throughout the range there really is a style to get even the most lifeless soul body-popping and doing his thing!

Colours are bright and powerful with reds, green, whites and blacks all bursting with New York zest. Using camo detail, diamante and patent finishing, the whole collection has something that little bit special depending on who you want to be. So sit back, stay cool and stay on the Projekts NYC side of life.

British Knights is bringing back the exact late 80’s look and style that caused the brand to be one of the most popular among the young urban trendsetting guys of that time.

From the brand’s first sneaker launch in 1985 through the early ‘90’s BK rose to the highest levels of the athletic footwear industry.

These meticulous replications, the identical sole mold to the precise matching of signature BK prints, elicit the retro feeling of the extreme late 80’s.

British Knights are also teaming up with leading industry designers to produce innovative, cutting edge cooperations.

BK and Gio Chiappetta (Pro Wolf Master) are debuting a sneaker in May called the “Purple Wizard Moccasin”.

A vibrant purple based graphic hi top- an ’89 shoe redesign in ‘08. The intelligence behind the design, Gio Chiappetta, says, “The materials and colors used are all reminiscent of the BK legacy… with a contemporary twist. It’s simple… a leather shoe with funky canvas detail. I guess you could say this shoe is a commentary on the state of the street/sneaker culture and what I love. I like wierd.”

May 1, 2008 will initiative the launch of the first 4 1989 classic BK styles as well as the ‘Purple Wizard Moccasin’ shoe by Gio Chiappetta(Pro Wolf Master), followed on June 15, 2008 with the next four shoes from the ’89 collection.

The shoes will be available at BK and at select retailers nationwide.

VelvetBanana was born in the summer of 2005 with the idea of redefining the ART ROCK T-SHIRT with thematic series. (The video)

Gary, VelvetBanana :

“All our collections try to represent the emotions and textures of selected songs and bands”.

The first collection was developed in Ann Arbor, Michigan, an excellent place to start from, due to the strong music environment around there.

The name VelvetBanana® arises as an homage to The Velvet Underground and the “banana cover” made by Andy Warhol for their first album “The Velvet Underground and Nico” (1967)”

Electrifying, abrasive, furious and hypnotic graphics full of energy make up Collection #3 of VelvetBanana.

The collection was initially inspired by the symbolic resemblance between the teenage riots in a post-punk concert in the mid 80s (as well as today) and the Latin American revolutionary demonstrations in the 70s and their esthetics.

VelvetBanana wants to express its fascination for this and capture all that fury and the power of young energy it demonstrates.

The final touch comes from Sonic Youth, Be Your Own Pet and These New Puritans, among others, who flood the atmosphere with their brilliant sounds and spirit.

The collection also includes the re-edition of two of the graphics composed of undulated lines which originally appeared in Collection #1. Both of them perfectly evoke the spirit of REBELLIONS.

The tears of a clown is design by Klaus Haapaniemi

This issue of T-post was designed by London-based, Finnish illustrator and graphic artist Klaus Haapaniemi. One of the hottest British fashion illustrators at the moment, his work seems to be everywhere; from a crockery range for Iittala to prints for Levis, Cacharel, Topshop and D&G.

Not to mention the illustrations he did for the storefront windows of Selfridges department stores and the special edition Christmas storybook he made together with celebrity writers such as Madonna’s daughter Lourdes and…eh..David Hasselhoff.

Have a look at more of Klaus’ work.
