Vines by Supermaggie

April 24, 2008

HYA reader Mary dropped me a note to say I should check out a shop called Supermaggie, and since almost I do anything that I’m told via e-mail (try me, you’ll be amazed!), I popped it in my browser, and was pretty happy with what I found. Lots of cool, understated designs, with a pleasant [...]

Candy Kiss by Public Domain Clothing @ Karmaloop

April 24, 2008

Holy 80s Batman!Seriously, have you ever seen a tee design that wasn’t made in the 80s that looked more 80s than this? I do have a little knit to pick though, the eye on the left (as we look at it) does seem to be a bit too far on the left, although I guess [...]

Beams T in Hong Kong

April 24, 2008

I think a sign that t-shirts are taking over my life came in Hong Kong wen I was excited to spot an Beams T, the much-collaborating Japanese tee label, and one of their famous t-shirt conveyor belts, in a mall on a street in Kowloon (they also have a larger store in Kowloon Tong, but [...]

Vote Boris/Ken for London Mayor by Mingled

April 23, 2008

I was watching a debate with the three front runners for the London Mayoral Election (Boris Johnson – Conservative, Ken Livingston – Labour, Brian Paddick – Liberal Democrat) on Sunday, and I realised that I wouldn’t really want any of them to be in charge of a city that I lived in, they were squabbling [...]

The Susanne by WeSC @ Karmaloop

April 23, 2008

I’m really becoming a fan of funnel collars and hoods, they make you feel so much warmer, and you look pretty damn cool in the process, which is always a plus! Other than the funnel collar, this is actually a pretty simple hoodie, apart from the rather odd addition of making this a short sleeved [...]

Concrete Hermit: HYA visits the Gallery

April 22, 2008

When I went down to London in February to attend Margin I decided I was going to make a bit of a pilgrimage to Concrete Hermit, and since they were located pretty near to The Park and To Be Confirmed shows that I was going to attend I decided I’d be stupid not visit them [...]

Thinking Hurts by Yes No Maybe

April 22, 2008

Yes No Maybe have got a load of new designs out for your purchasing pleasure, and this clever hoodie is part of the new collection. Printing on the hood is always a bit fun and this is a great example of it. Usually the print on the hood is just a bit of an afterthought, [...]

Marie by Lisa Corbett @ Tasty Tees

April 22, 2008

I’d actually been sitting on this tee for more than a week, just saving it for when I didn’t have any cool ones left in my bookmarks, when I noticed that its only on sale until April 25th, so you’ve got just 3 days to put an order in if you want one. This tee [...]

I Funk NY by BBP @ Karmaloop

April 22, 2008

I know that this tee is called ‘I Funk NY’, but I’m pretty sure that if you walked up to anyone and got them to read this tee they’d say ‘I rock NY’ unless throwing the horns has changed its meaning since back in the days when I used to rock hard. Whatever its name, [...]

WcDonald Windbreaker from Wrongwroks

April 21, 2008

Wrongwroks are keeping up their impressive release schedule with this all-black, seamless, waterproof windbreaker that features their WcDonald logo. It looks pretty cool, and I think that its important to have a windbreaker in your clothing arsenal for those times when you look out the window and see a few clouds and know that if [...]

Turn the City by Turn Nocturnal

April 21, 2008

Turn Nocturnal don’t exactly put out a lot of designs, but when they do you can be fairly certain that you’re going to enjoy seeing their latest release, and I think that ‘Turn the City’ is no exception to that rule. The buildings themselves have a style which is reminiscent of charcoal drawings (I love [...]

Sequined Vishnu by Artful Dodger @ Karmaloop

April 21, 2008

Apparently Vishnu is the “being responsible for the preservation of the universe,” so I’m pretty sure that if you’re going to make a tee about Vishnu then sequins are an absolute must! I wonder how Hindu’s (right religion?) feel about people wearing a tee with their God on it when they don’t really understand what [...]

MarginReports: Trousers London

April 19, 2008

Fear not gentle readers, HYA has not turned into Hide Your Ass (now there’s an idea!), but I promised these guys that I’d write something about them even if I don’t have the first clue about the world of premium jeanswear. I met two of the people behind Trousers London at the pre-party before the [...]

Ten Bills: A whole series of robot tees

April 18, 2008

So, I write about robot tees months ago and all of a sudden everyone is selling them. I’m not saying that I’m a barometer of style, but… okay, that’s exactly what I’m saying, I can’t wait to see what design trend I cause next!* Ten Bills are back (even though they barely went away) with [...]

Smile Big Hoodie by Touma @ eno

April 18, 2008

I’ve clearly gone a bit Asian with today’s product picks, first a tee from Hong Kong, and now a hoodie from a store in mainland China.This hoodie totally reminds me of the infamous Shark hoodie by A Bathing Ape, except happy rather than angry, and not a shark… so basically the only connection is that [...]
