I’d actually forgotten how many cool designs Hugsmugglers had, so get your ass over to their Merchline store and check ‘em out while they’re cheap.
After last week’s teaser, here’s a closer look:
THE LIFE COLLECTION from Akomplice really holds true to it’s title. The Summer range has pieces for all walks of life; from the Jaquard Sweater to the Flip Shorts, mixing a prestigious cut with a relaxed style. The tees are just as worldly. With a collaboration between Akomplice and Hope (www.hopeartists.org), 30% of all “Realer World T-Shirt” profits are given to impoverished communities in Africa. Akomplice also pays Homage to the lighter side of life by teaming up with the German based brand “Wemoto”. Together they produced “Bad Times”, a tee poking fun at most people’s outlook on the bad economy. The Life collection consists of: sweaters, shorts, polos, New Era hats, tee-shirts, and a skateboard deck. This is one of Akomplice’s most well rounded collections to date. Be on the look out for this new collection in your local Boutique or online at the Akomplice webstore.
I’ve put a fair chunk of the collection in the gallery below, but the pics don’t really show the items particularly well, so if you actually want to see the designs properly, head on over to the Akomplice site, or this page if you want to see everything without clicking around.

It may surprise you to hear this, but I’m actually a bit of a fan of 80′s Purple, they’re constantly releasing new stuff, the brands they stock are impressive, and they have a tendency to put a lot of it on sale. They say this is a half-yearly sale, so I would assume that it is a bigger sale than usual, but I’m constantly being sent e-mails from them about coupon codes and sales, so there’s always a good deal to be had.

This might be Teecycle Tim, or it could be one of his friends from a photoshoot.
Okay, not that Pepsi Challenge (that post would indicate a slow news day), but rather PepsiCo’s “What’s Your Pitch?” contest. Teecycle, for those of you that are unaware, is a site that sells cool second-hand tees, and gives $1 from each sale to the River Revitalization Foundation, a Milwaukee based organisation, and the tees are only $7 to start with, so it’s not a token gesture. Clearly, Pepsi liked this (and why wouldn’t they?), and awarded Tim, Teecycle’s founder, a grant of $4,500 to keep on doing his good work. Tim hopes to use the grant to launch a line of tees by local artists, and has other plans for the future as well, such as a documentary about ethical clothing.

This is one of those hoodies that isn’t necessarily a show-stopper, people aren’t going to be amazed by it, but at the same time I can’t imagine finding anyone that didn’t like it. I guess you could almost call it boring, but I’d like think of it more as being ‘restrained’.
Costiness=$62 Buy it at Karmaloop (and remember that you can get up to 20% off your purchase with the rep code AS7594, and support HYA in the process)
