FAKEWEAR T-Shirts by Ami Kealoha
Fake is the new black? It is according to Bea Correa, the Dutch designer who last year introduced knockoff Louis Vuitton handbags with the word "FAKE" spraypainted on them in gold. Her new FAKEWEAR line takes the comment further by alluding to the authenticity of the wearer. Similarly subversive (or at least irreverent), a collection called Trash&Fancy that repurposes tees and sweatshirts to make legwarmers and blouses. The elegant designs look eminently more wearable than past examples of the cut-up tee shirt craze.

+41 Fairtilizer Tee and Peacock Scarf
Maybe because we're excited about the upcoming U.S. release of Control or maybe just because we appreciate any interpretation of Peter Saville's pulsar-inspired design, but either way +41's new Fairtilizer t-shirt turned our head. Developed for a music sharing site (called Fairtilizer) that +41 is art directing, the 100% cotton tee is a nice addition to the rest of their (almost) all black-and-white 2007...

Print Liberation
Philadelphia-based design studio Print Liberation carries a line of tees, prints, and accessories that will make any font nerd swoon. Printed on American Apparel, we like the layout and concept of the "Don't Give Up" tee, which avoids the bumper sticker-like pitfalls of other message shirts by using non-centered and so-clichéd-it's-meaningless text and was also one of Print Liberation's wheat paste campaigns. The same...

Twenty-two years ago the year 1984 came and went and we were all supposed to breathe a collective sigh of relief. We weren't faced with a perpetual war with shifting adversaries; our own citizens were not being detained and held indefinitely without charge; dissenting voices were common in the mainstream media; and partisan debate was not branded as disloyalty to the nation. Arguably, in...
