At Pure Harmony Clothing they just released their summer line and it’s very 80s/surfy !

Jake, Pure Harmony Clothing:

“For the past few months of this semester, I have been working hard to create a line that reflects who I am.

I am very much in the 80s style, as well as old school so cal surfer. I feel my summer line is very versatile and can be worn by a wide variety of people.

Im super stoked with how everything has turned out, and last week I released 8 new shirts, 3 tank tops, 2 dresses, and a basketball jersey”.

Puntoebasta Clotinng is online with a new website and their spring collection:

“Death Penalty Economy Measure”

Quite a few American states now consider ending the death penalty. The reason? Well, it seems that killing people cost too much.

Martin O’Malley, Governor of Maryland, is cited in New York Times (February the 24th, 2009) stating that capital cases cost three times as much as homicide cases where the death penalty is not sought. Capital cases are expensive because the trials tend to take longer, require more lawyers and more costly expert witnesses. They are also far more likely to lead to multiple appeals.

It’s hard not to let the sarcasms sneak into one’s discourse when economy measures is on the table with regard to something as serious as the institutional taking of human lives. For, what conclusion is exactly to be drawn from this? Particularly interesting here is the rhetoric. Because this suggests that the death penalty is a commodity that can not be afforded in economically restrained times.

Design By David Foldvari

This issue was designed by one of our favourite illustrators at the moment – David Foldvari. David is a Hungarian who’s spent most of his life living in the UK.

I was going to tell you a bit about his work but it all sounded so cliché. Dark humour, Eastern European roots, amazing craftsmanship, bla bla bla. Let’s put it this way instead: if you’re interested in seeing the work of one of the most influential and talented illustrators around, go to his website. The illustrations will speak for themselves.

Ucon Acrobatics is happy to announce the drop of the Ucon Spring 2009 line.

The toothpaste script by Obey tshirt.

Christopher Raeburn explores a dual design vision in his debut womenswear collection.

Presenting a concise range of beautifully functional outerwear garments constructed from original military parachute
fabrication, the designer pays homage to the idea of ‘future heritage’ by duplicating each design in pure, black, British wool.

Shadowing each silk parachute garment with its own heavy wool counter-part results in a thoroughly modern capsule of contrasting weights, silhouettes and textures.

A skilfully resolved, dual layer olive green parka, integrates seaming and cords from the original parachute to showcase the military functionality that Raeburn so carefully respects. Features such as a poppered shower-proof zip front and wind resistant pockets,
mean the objective of the original vessel remains true.

A fully reversible cape and fishtail coat are testament to the fine attention to detail that Raeburn demands in all his garments. Inverting autumn gold against olive green parachute and over-dyed “:Scheertarn” snow camouflage against black wool produces a
dappled autumnal colour palette.

A cropped quilted bomber jacket, featuring a hand embroidered circular quilting pattern mimicking Swedish digital snow camouflage netting is a highlight of the collection. The zipped hood detail and the elegantly adjustable poppered cuffs again reflect Raeburn’s
contemporary, urban outlook.

Also featuring a poncho, hoody and sprinter jacket, Christopher Raeburn’s A/W09 collection considers traditional construction techniques adapted for modern lifestyles.

Riot Tuxedo, the eco friendly tees with a David Bowie meets Andy Warhol rocker vibe to them.

Riot Tuxedo is inspired by art and old punk rock albums but has a high end underground indie clothing label vibe with an arty DIY warrior spirit.

Riot Tuxedo posses a unique aesthetic and a refreshing approach including painstaking vintage washing and dyeing, to hand-made graphics/art and printing methods. With changing inspirations and themes every season, Riot Tuxedo proudly remains a misfit in direct opposition of the over-produced mundane eyesore fashion.
