Keep Calm and Carry On by SummerSeventySix
The British stiff upper-lip and Blitz spirit distilled into five stoical words, these silkscreen prints are based on a message that was posted on walls during the Second World War. The original featured stark white text on a red background, but U.K.-based student Lucas Lepola has updated things using more subtle colors plum, pear and peach, each limited to 50 numbered prints. The sentiment remains the same, and still feels a bit comforting during today's uncertain times. They're £25 plus shipping from Keep-Calm.

Gharani Strôk Filofax Organiser
For decades Filofax has been a name synonymous with personal organizers and widely imitated worldwide. Until very recently, Filofax was also known to be pretty conservative—both styles and their product range never seemed to differ significantly from the first specimen produced in the 1920s. But with 2007, a revolution has arrived. Not only did Filofax recently launch a friendly website named It's a Way...

T-Book x Peter Schmid Sneakers
With British t-shirt company T-Book's tessellating expressions of love and the German Puma designer Peter Schmid's high and low-tops, these may be the most romantic kicks out there. Laser-burnt with T-Book's clever, M.C. Escher-esque "Don't Kiss Goodbye" (pictured left, click either image for detail) or with their "I Love You" repeating script pattern (pictured right), the process takes about an hour for each pair....

Vonhideki
No designer represents the rising-tide graphic design strategy of commingling traditional drawing and digital technique more than London’s Hellovon.

Their virtual Morte Per collection, meaning “to die for” in Italian, is the debut from their Vonhideki brand currently boasting five proposed products: the Suicide Bath, the Choker, the Tip, Youth and Beauty Body...

Limited Edition Two Tone Posters
As influential as the music they supported, the Two Tone Records graphic system created an iconic look for British bands that fused Jamaican ska and rocksteady with contemporary punk and pop in the late '70s. Known for the black and white checkerboard and crisp, bold elements, the treatment unified the fashion and music of the period and remains a highly referenced theme today. Two...
