Red Coles
Red Coles is a soul inspired line that features a hand made feel applied to limited runs of t-shirts, polos and sweatshirts. Eric Coles, a former music exec, designs and produces every piece in his Brooklyn studio. "The collection is a fun mix of pop culture-inspired line drawings, portraits and graphic designs. Since the illustrations all start as works on paper and not in...

Kate Moross Tees
Barely into her 20s, designer/illustrator Kate Moross has a client list as long as some established design firms. You might recognize her distinctive work from Vice and Nylon magazines or U.K. bands like Klaxons and the Maccabees.

Beautiful/Decay Issue S: T-Shirts and Release Party
It may be warm and bright outside but Beautiful/Decay magazine seems to have been languishing in darkness. Their newest, Issue S, presents a mix of ill–omened themes such as death metal, ritual suicide and the Dark Ages. Hanna Liden's eerie photo series of masked figures (cover image, above left) set in dark swamps only adds to the foreboding effect. Wu-Tang Clan's the RZA wanders...
