From Damascus to “Live Now, Die Never”

In 2009, business partners, the founder of Damascus, Nate Khouli and Josh Lyon, made the benighted decision with no experience or background, to unknowingly propel those head first into one of the most saturated and emulous markets in busines apparel. They expressed their creativity by designing T-shirts for their friends, family and people around San Diego.

They get their inspiration from everyday life; they focus on what is thrown in front of them that many others fail to see. Hip and urban phrases, like “live now, die never,” and “It’s nice to like,” or “rage harder,” song lyrics, and random pictures of women are just the beginning of how Damascus finds inspiration in an urban city with so much to offer.

Their line for the end of this year was all around 80s and video games. That’s why they made the Japanese letters that stand for “Live Now, Die Never.” They wanted their shirt to be a Sega Genesis start screen before the game begins. Most importantly, this line celebrates their primed accession to the Men’s Apparel industry.

Fashion and music lovers in Bury St Edmunds can now support charity and their favorite bands at the same time. This is all thanks to Out of the Woods Clothing a new local business with national ambitions.

Pencil, ink, paint and charcoal — for sinister aesthetic designs

DR POPCORN APPAREL (or DPA) is a Sheffield based independent clothing company. Despite a large amount of doubt surrounding the appeal and sinister aesthetic of the designs, DPA believes that going against the grain and offering an alternative to the mainstream is the best way to connect with those who carry the same believe.

I know it seems dark and gloomy surrounding the art on the shirt but if you stare for another second — you will see a story that’s trying to convince you to embrace the untold journey.

Life may bring sorrow and grief, have you ever feel that your universe sometimes just unfairly concise?

Daily struggles and even hurt the body, mind, constant exhaust.

No place to hide from such situations, not even a heaven on earth.

But then I realize — nobody deserve to live in fear . So, take your own brush then paint your own universe.

Just like a piece of art — choose your theme — and don’t be afraid leave your mark and follow your dream.

And don’t forget to enjoy the painting process, make sure it’s the best part.

Oh, a little bit messy means you learn something new along the way.

*I know it’s not often me being poetic, but I’m fine. Really*

Here it goes another Indonesia-based clothing brand that makes me proud as it goes global. SKY International Clothing was started back in 2010 when making its T-Shirt line Debut at Metro Department Store Outlets across Indonesia.

After this, some tee shirts that I really like to have

The Human-universe Paradox

Enclothe‘s Paradox is a hell good tee shirt with illustration that speaks about human-universe paradox unsurely. Through this tee shirt, perhaps, Jerry Maninang has something to be spoken quietly about characteristics of human behaviour. It’s about the vast majority of people in the world today that are failing to achieve their full potential, happiness, wealth, health and desires through a complete lack of understanding of the way in which the Universe operates — illustrated with nature-life its immutable, perfect, loving way. Damn, too serious for Valentine’s Day!

Loyal K.N.G. Makes Some Good Logo-based T-shirts

I really envy an indie publisher which successfully manage its own fashion business, like having its own clothing line. Sure they will get an initial traction by exposing to its subscriber but only a few stay there and stand strong for some time.

And Loyal K.N.G is one of few indie publisher that is currently on both business. I hope the clothing line will be last for long. Because getting people to buy and wear your “logo” tee shirts is not an easy task — especially when you have to play around the logo nicely without getting people to think: nah, another chauvinism logo tee shirt.

“Live With No Regrets”, says 11:11 APPAREL

What do you do at the age of 15? You either a skateboard’s hipster, Nintendo geek or nerdy bookworm with a huge spectacles. But for Heather Tunches, it was the time to start a company that focus on clothing label — 11:11 APPAREL.

Her inspiration came from her core beliefs and I wanted to share those beliefs with others through positive messages on t-shirts and accessories that I felt would appeal to other people. That’s what you see when you saw a T-shirt that saya “Live With No Regrets” and “Live for Moments like These”. Aprt from the positive movement it tries to create, I have a good impression on everything I see on website: Not bad for a 15 years-old girl. What do you think?

“Leoni di Marmo” Means Through The Cosmos, The Time, The Matter and The Vision

I don’t understand a single heck about illuminati and the theory of conspiratorial organization that mastermind almost of all events and control world affairs through governments and corporations to establish a New World Order.

In a second, I thought BORO’s new collection entitled “Leoni di Marmo” has something to do with illuminati but it convinces me the four elements actually has different meanings: 1) The Cosmos, through the light, goes beyond the Time 2) The Time, through the memory, blows into the matter 3) The matter, through the gaze, splits herself out in: vision, perception and dream 4) The vision, the perception and the dream, through the symbols, solder themselves, becoming the image of the Cosmos.

Confused? Don’t be, just wear!

Have You Opened Your Eyes?

A tee shirt from Dress Royale illustrates capitalims in a very cynical way.

Some people agree that global capitalism isn’t working for the American middle class, it makes multinational companies more productive, but the benefits are mostly being enjoyed by the C-suite. The middle class, meanwhile, is struggling to find work, and many of the jobs available are poorly paid.

Getting Aerodynamics with Florence-Based Urban Graphic T-shirt Label

I don’t have much reference and knowledge when it comes to Italian-based tee shirt labels. It’s obvious that I don’t understand the language but unlike their French and Germany counterpart, Italian-based clothing labels that go international aren’t within my radar as well.

So, I’m very happy when I found Fly&I — a new urban graphic t-shirt label based in Florence, Italy. I like everything I see on its new website: from the cutting of tee shirt and catchy design that represents their passion to other things that they do like short films, sound-mixes from DJs that their support and even design services and collaborations their offer.
