Beautiful/Decay Tees by Ami Kealoha

Bdecayayakato Btfdecaysaiman Btfdecayskwak

For the last decade, Beautiful/Decay magazine has been a platform for new and established underground artists from the graffiti world and beyond. As the brand has increased in popularity, the editors decided to create a T-shirt line devoted uniquely to the artists who are featured in the magazine. By using 100% cotton, 36 Needle Knit, and custom-cut bodies, Beautiful/Decay T-shirts provide an ultra-soft, torso-pleasing canvass for some of the most dynamic wearable images out there. Saiman Chow, the same artist responsible for the adicolor Black video, incorporates a characteristic mix of cute and creepy in his tee (pictured middle), in the same vein as Skwak's mélange of monsters (pictured right). Others, like Aya Kato's swirling geisha (pictured left), while more classically romantic, still create a unique graphic pattern that looks fresh layered or on its own.

$30 from the Beautiful/Decay shop.

Call of the Wild
Every day this week we're writing about the things that really caught our eye at the top British casualwear show To Be Confirmed last weekend. London-based Kai and Sunny are the designers responsible for Call Of The Wild, a label that's quickly done well through both word-of-mouth and blogosphere recommendations. I caught up with Kai at TBC, and he talked me through their thinking...
