Artoys don’t just sell lovingly moulded pieces of vinyl, they also have a clothing line called ATZ that just dropped part of its fall collection, and they must have dropped it from a great height, because the designs are making a pretty big splash in the waters around the good ship HYA… that means I like them. Its hardly surprising that I like them considering they got the doodle-King Jon Burgerman on board to do a design for them, as well as some fellow called
Superdeux that I hadn’t heard of before but am glad I have now.

I guess that this promotion kind of makes sense, AAITSKI have a lot of t-shirt designs that are based around animals, but seriously, who has ever heard of World Animal Day? And what are we meant to do to celebrate it, go vegetarian (except for bacon, of course)? Hug a monkey? There are far too many ‘Blah Blah Blah Days’ now, and what does it take to make an official ‘…. Day’, can I just claim one, like next Thursday being the International Day of Andy?

I’m really starting to get into Karmaloop’s Daily Loop, the short news show which covers items from the world of streetwear, new stuff they’re selling, technology and regular stories from the news too, basically stuff I’m interested in. I don’t plan on posting it every day, but I liked yesterday’s clip, so here it is, that and any post I write which has “fake Sarah Palin nudes” in the title is blatantly going to be pageview-grabbing-gold!
Video is NSFW for the aforementioned boobies (nothing too graphic though) and some fairly salty language, but you don’t watch videos at work anyway, right?

I saw these jackets by streetwear label
Original Fake on
HighSnobriety (amongst a zillion posts about sneakers and logo tees) a few days ago and really liked their look, especially with the subtle integration of the
Kaws ‘X’, it doesn’t get more subtle than black on black!
Unfortunately the chance of you picking up one of these coats is pretty darned slim, seeing as the HS blog post only mentions them being released at a single shop in Japan. I see this kind of thing all the time in the streetwear world, releasing products in maybe one or two stores when there’s worldwide demand for them, and it seems pretty odd to me, I know that keeping things limited helps to hype the brands and their products, but it does seem like an awful lot of effort to design and produce items only for so few people to be able to actually buy them.
