MomiMomi by Josh Rubin
Born in New York in 2001 and now based in LA, MomiMomi makes t-shirts that are buttery soft, perfectly fitting and phenomenally styled. In their own words:
MomiMomi (moe-me, moe-me) is a t-shirt lab concentrating on designs of simplicity and comfort, the aim of our work is to conflate graphics and wear-ablity. That is, we seek to treat the t-shirt as a billboard for the body, developing imagery that both acknowledges and highlights the human form, and subverts conventional perceptions of it.
And what does MomiMomi mean? It's Japanese and means 'anything you can do with two hands.' It has both innocent and dirty inferences, but is generally used when describing a massaging feeling. I think it describes how I felt when I put one on yesterday-- mm, mm good.

Moongirl
So many fashions jump the Hello Kitty nostalgia bandwagon sometimes known in less-polite circles as "Japsploitation" - so it's always reassuring to see a fresh take on Nippon-inspired style that doesn't rehash the age old stereotypes. The new t-shirt line from Moongirl is just one example: It eschews the cutsey stereotypes and instead brings a varied blend of fashionable and original print shirts for...

Ogi
During my travels through lovely San Francisco, I saw lots of amazing and wonderful stuff. At just about every other store without initially realizing who it was each time, I would notice the work of Ogi over and over again, like love at first sight on repeat. Finally on my last day, it happened once more and I asked one of the store clerks,...

P.A.M. x Undercover Shade Lamp
Using macabre imagery to form an eerily symbolic sculptural piece, Jun Takahashi of Undercover joined forces with P.A.M. to create the Shade Lamp. The scene depicts a tree growing out of (or through?) a skull in a cemetery somewhere with the branches (fittingly) holding the shade. For mood lighting, I like the green and gold eyes, but my favorite part of the lamp has...
