Sensitivetype Hoodie
by Josh Rubin
Shari Sakahara is an LA based graphic designer who won one of our Camonanos last month. As a thank you she sent us one of the hoodies that she makes and sells. How we missed this before, I don't know, but I'm glad to see it now. Why advertise your alma matter or home town on your hoodie when you can hype your favorite font? The hoodie is an American Apparel standard and each letter is cut from felt and stitched in place.
$38 in her online store (which has a few other creations to check out)
Classic Kicks Hoodies
by Josh Rubin
Hoodies are like the t-shirts of Winter. These in particular will bring a splash of warm color to an otherwise drab season. Designed by the owners of one of our favorite NYC sneaker shops, Classic Kicks, these heavyweight french terrycloth hoodies just went on sale. The pattern is pretty intricate and trippy so be sure to click on the photos above for a closer look.
$165 each, call +1.212.979.9514 or email nick [at] classickicks [dot] com to order
James Tichenor
by Josh Rubin
James Tichenor is a digital Renaissance man. As a trained architect he practiced in New York before deciding to go back to school to explore new technologies for materials and prototyping. That exploration came from an artistic and oftentimes psychedelic angle. His portfolio includes many interesting projects, but one of my favorites is the 640x480 Cocktail Umbrellas. Basically, it's an array of cocktail umbrellas that open and close individually to form a simple image. The project reminds me a bit of a techno-Tiki version of Danny Rozin's Wooden Mirror.
