Eco-friendly tees produced in short run batches (only 50 imprints per design!), that’s at the core of boardsport clothing company Sutsu’s credo. Mixed with a big fat sale that’s going on right now (30% off just about everything!) and there’s really no reason to click on over to their site and pick up an upbeat and earthy tee of your own…
Dutch author and illustrator Dick Bruna is probably best known as the creator of Miffy — Nijntje in Dutch — the cute but inscrutable rabbit dressed like a toddler and pictured, in bold lines and primary colors, at the zoo, in the snow, at the seaside, etc…
One of our hands-down favorite crews bombing the walls of Tel Aviv is the Haifa-based Broken Fingaz Crew. The 10-year-strong foursome (Tant, Unga, Dezo, and Kip) have a hypnotizing and intricate style which recalls 1960’s psychedelic posters, old school American comics, and B-rated horror flick poster typography…
Loving the youthful, slightly naughty, tomboyishness of this tee assortment from Rethink Clothing. What do you expect from a clothing company that employs only college-level designers for their creative vision. Why, we ask…
This super-ambitious, 365 day-long, A Year of Tees project by designer Keith Walsh has resulted in a 200+ piece collection (That’s January 2010 – today) of graphically simple & bold tees…
Ever wonder what the Hoopoe (national bird of Israel) looks like in the creatively bursting brain of Tel Aviv-based illustrator/art director Gal Shkedi? Well, thanks to this uber-approachable ad campaign by BBDO Israel for the Israel Nature and Parks Authority, you now know: scruffy and chamood (cute) but a wee bit depressed-looking too — the standard chasm that exists in so many of Shkedi’s riotous characters…
There’s nothing we welcome more at Lo’s List than a well-curated T-shirt collective. It’s the sort of e-commerce round-up that results in hours of happy procrastination here at the office and often ends in big fat impulse buys (which we endorse — good for the soul)…
Starting to worry about how you’ll fill your days once the Cup is over? With just two games left to enjoy, you might be wondering: “how will I live without my daily dose of soccer?!”. Well, to help you transition back to the real world, order a copy of Arkitip’s Issue №0055 (the World Cup special edition), done in collaboration with Chinatown Soccer Club. It’s 100% football meets design — cover to cover.
This year’s official World Cup South Africa poster — conceived by Switch Design’s Johannesburg office — is a stunner, but the Cup is never just about a single team. Why have one when you can have 17…
Well, as miffed as I still am that the NYC fireworks display somehow crept over to the Hudson river three years ago and hasn’t returned to the east side since, it still was a lovely night on our roof here in Bushwickburg…
My voice is hoarse from a week and a half now of hooting and hollering at the television screen, I wish more than anything that my beloved French were still dancing the the ball across the pitch and into the net as was the norm in their heyday (I think I might be going with my Dutch roots for this round of World Cupping), and I feel a wee bit of childish glee when those vuvuzela drown out all other sounds from the South African stadiums. Yep. It’s here. I have it. The FIFA fever!!
As YZ & I gear up for a quick trip out west it’s clear that I’ve got LA on the brain. This loud LA All Day tee from Masked Clothing, with its timeless Run DMC-esque typographic treatment, immediately caught my eye (for those of you who have no love for Lala Land there’s a great NYC version as well). But the San Jose tee boutique, run by an elusive designer called Bori, has a slew of equally eye-catching designs: masked grizzly bears, masked Marilyn Monroe, masked primate, etc. There’s even a masked Misfits skull! Way to stand behind your name.
For all the cool kids out there: hipster offspring, weathered NYC youngsters and such, SuperFancy’s line of children’s tees are fresh, bright, and (aside from the one questionable gun tee) innocuous in content: rather important when dressing youngsters in this age of uber-violent video games (I’m against it), horror flicks (against it), and the like. Want your own SuperFancy shwag? Well, the Danish company makes tees for old farts too — although not quite as spirited as the munchkin selection… At a hefty €22 a pop (for kids tees), you’ll definitely want to hand the duds down to the next burgeoning fashionista in line…
The limited edition Midnight / Twilight collection of tees over at Young Lovers’ online shop are a perfect balance of goth and pop: innards in bright violet, yellow and red, a big, black hole of a heart, and my personal fave: a creepy piano-keyed grin. The graphics are printed on AA fine jersey short sleeve tees (the super soft ones) and each tee will cost you $48 (with free worldwide shipping). And with only 100 of each design, you’re sure to feel awful special when you rock yours!
Knee-slappingly funny Woody Fu sent over a quick top ten list for Lo’s List on a rather religious matter… You can find more of his ROTFL work at Peroxide Comics or peep his outstanding taste in low- and highbrow music (and some questionable fashion choices) at his blog, The 21 Gun Salute! Thanks Woods!!!!
