Long Clothing

Long Clothing are a newly launched unisex T-shirt label from East London with one basic concept; Long T-shirts with a skinny fit that can also be worn as dresses.
The prints are purposely simple to give more emphasis on the cut of the T-shirt, which for me works perfectly. Personally, I’d well rather wear something like [...]

Pete Versus Toby Fall 09

This has to be one of my favourite Fall 2009 collections. It’s by the label, Pete Versus Toby.
This season really reminds me of Rockers NYC, like a Streetwear/club/dirty not giving a shit but still looking good feel.
Designer Marco Zirov has collaborated with Byron Bay artists Lex Williams and Raina Hede to develop an in house [...]

Awesome: Belle Sauvage

Belle Sauvage is a cool independent label founded in 2006 from East London, by the designers Virginia Ferreira and Christian Neuman.
Throughout the collections they’ve managed to pull off a really great mix between classic streetwear and a choice indie boho look. With the modern garment cut and the eye popping colour palette, they really are [...]

David David London

I first heard of David David last year at London Fashion Weeks ‘Fashion East’ show, which has always been the cool cutting edge one that shows 3 top young designers.
David Saunders, the ‘David’ behind David David (How many David’s is that in one sentence?) Initially started off in the world of fashion by printing his [...]

Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony

Chloe Sevigny has created a capsule collection for the second time at Opening Ceremony, that’s that mad shop in NYC (and now LA) which stocks new designers from a certain country and just keeps swapping the country every now and then. I think PonyStep had a nice in depth interview with them once, yeah here [...]

Sophomore NYC

Other than having one of the best lookbook photograph collections I’ve seen in a while, Sophomore also have probably one of the best basic staple collections you can buy. I certainly think it beats American Apparel for staple style.
I never really totally got the whole AA hype thats been going on recently, myself. Although I [...]

Elena Gallen: Another great T-Shirt designer

Here’s another Illustrative T-Shirt designer I’ve come across lately. Elena Gallen isn’t a full on T-shirt label with PR staff pushing her 24/7 yet she’s able to class Giles Deacon and Wendy James as customers.
Most of her current tees tend to follow the same cool illustration concept, that hand drawn but still perfect design of [...]

Mad B&W tees by Modern Lovers

I’m seriously in love with that cat print from newly founded label, Modern Lovers. At the moment I’m really into the plain black illustration T-shirts.
What a great & simple style to get right for new labels? I know from my attempts at starting labels off (which I’m still going for) is that getting T-shirts screen [...]
