Heroine T-Shirts [FASHION]








Justin R Saunders aka J-Sheik has been in doing his thing for a while now...though subtly, yet at the same time quite frank. This collection of t-shirts, under the brand "Heroine", is the type of stuff those livin' a "who's who, what's what" type of lifestyle will appreciate.

Hype Means Nothing [FASHION]

These guys have been around for a while, but I've been late on the draw...a French label, Hype Means Nothing seems to take the business serious, but not themselves so much. I can co-sign that philosophy! Check out the tees and crewneck sweaters that feature some of the most iconic wearing finger sunglasses.

New Billionaire Boys Club/Ice Cream Photoshoot [FASHION]

Definitely not because of Phraell, but because I'm for real! I love this - screened t-shirts, and denim with fox appliques over/out/finito. Avant-garde styling reminiscent of what Sean John was doing...made relevant...is it/in/what's up! DOPE.

Stussy “Great Minds” Collection [FASHION]



Clever.

Paying homage to some of the most influential and noteworthy intellects who have institutionalized who presented various schools of thought, Stussy unveil their “Great Minds” collection. Some familiar faces over politics, science, economics, philosophy and psychology are included such as Albert Einstein, Henry David Thoreau, Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud and William Shakespeare. Each t-shirt features a re-appropriated portrait with little bits of commentary pertaining to their life’s work.

Obama Hits The Runway (Again!)

I've must have made almost 1 or 2 Obama Fashion posts so far...but I had to post this!

When it was reported that Donatella Versace's most recent men's collection was inspired by Barack Obama, Donatella was quick to correct the press. Obama himself didn't inspire her, but rather "the type of man Barack Obama represents." However designers showing at Paris Fashion Week conveyed no such reserves about using their runway shows to blatantly support Barack. Sonia Rykiel's spring 2009 collection included sweaters that read "I have a dream" and "Obama." Jean-Charles de Castelbajac put Barack's grinning face on a dress paired with gloves that read "yes" and "no" — probably his way of saying "rock the vote." And at the end of her program notes, Stella McCartney wrote, “P.S. Vote Obama!!” None of this surprises us. What does, however, is that Barack didn't permeate the collections in London, Milan, or New York in this way. Maybe designers in other parts of the world didn't want to add fuel to the whole Obama-is-a-celebrity fire? Like embracing a First Lady who's posed nude, leave it to the French to say, "Yes, we can!"

MULTIPLE PERSONAS André Benjamin, aka André 3000 aka Benjamin Bixby



I have heard about Andre 3000's clothing line Benjamin Bixby for quite some time, but there was very good article in the New York Times about the project.

As André 3000 of OutKast, he suavely crafted an alter ego with a distinctive retro-preppy-nerdy style and used fashion magazines, which were captivated by his look, to promote his image. He often showed up at photo shoots with bags of his own dandy clothes and was photographed in them, as when he appeared in a long houndstooth overcoat with Kate Moss in Rolling Stone. In 2005, he made the International Best-Dressed List in Vanity Fair.

Gregory Allen!


My homie Nige sent me this snapshot off his iPhone the other day. It's some downtown guerrilla advertising for Gregory Allen. The Toronto based luxury dress designer/retailer line that has been featured in Complex, Peace, and Ask Men among other media outlets. I'll be putting up more info about the line soon...and perhaps even a Gregory Allen x go&d exclusive!

mmmm...mmmm...Vote!


A brilliant, yet simple t-shirt that blends politics, Andy Warhol, and Shepard Fairey all together in a way that leaves me only wishing that I came up with it.

1 - 1000, 2 - 1000, 3 - 1000...Rapper/Haberdasher

Check out the folks at Esquire who have a neat little interview with Mr. 3-Stacks discussing his clothing line Benjamin Bixby.

Via Kempt who summarized expectations of line poignantly as:
...expect it to be better than his movies, but slightly worse than his music.
I concur.

Timberlake's William Rast Pseudo Promo Trailers

Justin Timberlake's pseudo promo trailers for his William Rast clothing label are, and I hate to admit it, kind of good. It gives the line a little sexual, violent, and seductive feel which kind of makes me laugh giving that i just saw him play Jaques Grandes in a lame attempt at comedy...and who is the girl GOD DAMN!!!...I'm feeling the videos kind of reminds me of a watered down Natural born Killers meets the Getaway. Enjoy
