Cool Hunting
Beautiful Decay have the t-shirt game down pat, but as temperatures drop here in the Northern hemisphere, we need something for the cold winter season. Luckily, our friends just released their first line of artist-designed hoodies, their first foray into outerwear.
The cut-and-sew pieces feature the same high quality craftsmanship and super soft fabric we've come to expect, customized stitching and a steel BD zipper pull—no YKK around these parts. BD and CH favorite Aya Kato's fairy tale drawings are featured on the back and front breast of the reversible Native America release (above). I also like the Mush hoodie (below) printed with a custom gray and green design on the back, interior and hidden in the pocket for your own enjoyment.
Not to worry, they have a fresh batch of t-shirts too. Check out and purchase all the designs at Beautiful Decay Apparel.

Much like NYC-based arts and culture magazine Dossier's publication itself, their latest project, a series of totes customized by a hand-picked cadre of artists and designers, draws on the talent of their creative community. Bags feature the work of musicians, stylists, fashion designers and poets who each applied different techniques like wood-block printing, collage, photo transfers and quilting. The results of course are as...
Recently added to Beautiful/Decay's line of artist-designed tees, these two new shirts continue the brand's shirt-as-canvas approach. Australian artist Jonathan Nicol's "Conan Shirt" juxtaposes mythological icons, like vampire teeth, a woman wearing an eye patch and a skull, using a palette restricted to gray, yellow, black, and white. For Aya Kato's second Beautiful/Decay effort, the Japanese artist depicts two mermaids and their watery surroundings...
Sometimes it seems the rest of the world gets America better than America gets itself. In this case, it’s UK online clothing and accessories store FUSShop doing its best for a peek at American style street culture. Sure it’s petty much global now, but check out the sites subversive takes on classically banal American iconography like the college tee and the P.T.A. meeting staple...
Last week in LA I stopped in on my favorite Apartment No. 9's new Brentwood shop to check out their latest finds. They had just received their shipment of Trovata Vans which are pretty smooth and come in a beautiful wood box. Even more exciting, though, were the t-shirts from San Franciscan artist, Josh Podoll. The fauna-centric designs are printed on ring-spun cotton. One...
The super glossy product magazine coveted by the ladies is no longer just for the them--Nylon recently introduced a magazine targeted at "hip guys", called Nylon Guys. I was a bit skeptical at first, but I think they have done pretty well with it so far. I got to sit with the first issue for a bit, and it was honestly packed to the...
Neighborhoodies is the success story of a couple kids running a t-shirt business out of a basement apartment and 2 years later having a thriving 30 person company. As the name suggests, their t-shirts, hoodies and underwear shout out local pride. It's taking I Love NY to down to the street level, recognizing the individuality of different parts of town. But don't worry, it's...
