Cool Hunting
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 collection. A different version highlights the reinterpretation going on in the Fairtilizer logo by depicting it as a tree with the leaf made up of smaller leaves.
We also liked the unique offering for women this season, a handcrafted silk scarf. The delicate symmetry of the peacock pattern makes for a lovely and unusual way to ride the current trend in neckwear.
The scarf (€130) and shirt (€39) are both available from +41.

Like legendary tees emblazoned with "This is Not a Fugazi Shirt", merch says a lot about a band. The latest in a series of curated t-shirt collections produced by New York label United Bamboo puts musicians themselves to work designing their own graphics. The included groups represent some of the most innovative and hyped artists of late with a heavy dose from the New...
The newest collection from CH favorites Star Electric Eighty Eight (SEEE), called "I Love Magic Shows and Other Ways To Fight Evil" features designs inspired by the concept of self-made magic and revolutionary spirit. Harlem-based designer Jennifer Garcia researched the occult elements from a variety of sources including European tarot cards, Native American dream-catchers, Rangoli designs from India and Pennsylvanian Dutch barn hexes, all...
Even before Hot Topic pretty much ruined any kind of legit fandom, wearing a concert tee (unless is was a homemade "This is Not a Fugazi T-shirt" or Mr. Bungle's rare sort-of subtle masturbation celebration) was a sell out move. That's why we particularly appreciate U.K. t-shirt maker Worn By's AKA line of tees that pay homage to bands by referencing names they had...
By now you've likely already seen and loved Justice's award-winning "D.A.N.C.E." video and you likely also noticed that several of the animated tees featured in the video might make a pretty good addition to your own repertoire. Fortunately, a user of the DIY t-shirt printing site Bountee took it upon themselves to interpret a version of the multi-colored zig-zag tee. (The shirt above right...
"Heaven and Hell" is a reversible limited edition t-shirt and print that's new from Los Angeles design and ad firm Meat and Potatoes. Created for a celebrity lounge at the 2006 Billboard Music Awards in December, the four remaining from the event will be auctioned to benefit Meals on Wheels today, 26 January 2007, at 4pm EST on Ebay. Each long sleeve tee features...
The latest Go Ape tee to arrest our attention was the Evolver design: a Beatle-esque pencil drawing of apes a lá the frequently ripped-off jacket artwork on the 1966 classic LP. There are other gems here: "Elliot's New Friend"—a classic Stephen Spielberg spoof featuring BMX bicycle's silhouette cascading over a full moon with Ridley Scott's "Alien" in the front basket. Sick. (Yet funny.) For...
