This isn’t the kind of style that I’d usually associate with MHI (better known as Maharishi), but it looks pretty good. The spark plug design is a bit average, but the other two are fairly clever and innovative, its not particularly often that you see someone employing an X-Ray style look on a tee.

I can’t really imagine people actually wearing this stuff, although Asian streetwear culture is vastly different to ours, so they’re probably all over it, but for some reason I kind of admire the audacity of a brand for putting bikini-clad models on to t-shirts. Here’s the blurb for the top tee:

On October 3rd, Limited Edt will release a Singapore exclusive tee featuring Yuko Ishida standing inside the infamous “Vault.” Since 2005, Limited Edt’s appointment-only Vault has housed some of the rarest sneakers in the world, on display for the people of Singapore and visitors from around the globe.

The tee features a white bikini clad Yuko holding a pair of the cult-classic Air max 90 infrareds and wearing a pair of Limited Edt’s own New Balance 577 collabos.

This tee will be available exclusively in Singapore on October 3rd, at the following Limited Edt locations: Limited Edt Vault, Limited Edt Queensway, LE2 and Limited Edt Peninsula.

I did a little googling around to find out who the woman on the shirts was (Yuko Ishida), and aside from her being a ‘gravure model’ (whatever that is) and singer, I found a blog post in which she’s wearing a bra made up of rice bowls, which is about as sexy as it sounds!

T-shirts lead to me researching a lot of odd things on the internet, take this tee for example, I had no idea who Rigo was, so after a quick hunt around I’ve found out that Rigo is “considered a musical pioneer who started fusing electric guitars, synthesizers and rock melody with traditional Mexican music.” You truly do learn something new every day, and most of the time it isn’t much use to you.

The tee isn’t exactly the best I’ve ever featured on HYA, but I really like the style that the photo was taken, and hopefully that little compliment will mean that the photographer won’t mind me highlighting their photo.

Public Domain, who I’d like to think are amongst the most ‘Hollywood’ friends that HYA has got, have started to make some other friends, but not in the blog realm, they’re collaborating with other clothing labels, but they aren’t calling them collaborations, oh no, they aren’t merely collaborations, they are “Creative Alliances” which also sounds like something that needs Star Wars style music behind it.

To be completely honest, I’m not that excited by the t-shirt, I can see that they were going for an 80s look, but I think that they might have stuck a bit too much to the 80s aesthetic, damn them for being sticklers for authenticity! I think its the text that I don’t really like about it, which is weird because I actually quite like the font, maybe its just the colour palette. However, I am excited to see who they’ll be collaborating with next month and in the subsequent months after that. I can’t actually see it for sale on PDC’s or DURKL’s respective websites, so I don’t know where you can pick this up, but if I see it somewhere I’ll let you know, or I’ll forget, since that’s what usually happens.

Keeping things in the UK for a second post in a row (up next, a t-shirt with black pudding on it!… sorry, that isn’t true) here’s the latest tee from one of my favourite UK labels/art galleries/publishers, Concrete Hermit.

You know a tee must be funny when it makes Concrete Hermit’s usually straight-faced sweatband-wearing model laugh, and I do think that it’s a really fun looking tee. I liked the tee when I saw the front, but when I saw that the print went through to the back it went from being a good t-shirt to a great t-shirt.

Here’s the latest and greatest from the robot-lovers over at Terratag, this time around they’ve got Tokyoplastic to do the designing for them, and I think he’s done a pretty tidy job. The mix between the halftones and the solid-colour blood splashes works really well.

I’ve got no idea who these two guys are, but I guess I’m a bit of a sucker for photo tees.

Sometimes I wish that HYA was a TV show so that I could accompany stories with music, because I think that backing this story would be the music that plays during the Darth Maul x Obi-Wan lightsaber duel during The Phantom Menace. Partially because I want to over-hype the return of Oddica after an unfortunate hiatus of 9 months, and partially because I think that me presenting a segment on TV with music that ridiculously dramatic would be totally badass.

Sorry, I believe I have a news item to tell you. Oddica have released there first new designs since 2007, and they certainly do not disappoint. Good to have you back Oddica, we’ve missed you.

I’m glad to see that this design got printed somewhere since I used to love playing Duckhunt when I was too young to hold an actual rifle (not that I do much rifle-holding now. mind you), and for it to be at Unetee is even better since it means that you can pick it up for $12 if you buy it this week.

What? Did I just manage to go a whole week without writing about a tee from Local Celebrity? I guess you could say the same thing about going a whole week without seeing a tee that was about Voltron!

Anyway, here we are with yet another Voltron tee that gets a lot more love from my friends than the usual arty stuff that I usually cover my unnecessarily-hairy torso with (you got a mental image of that? awesome!). As with the other Voltron tees I’ve reviewed from Local Celebrity, this one is fully licensed and features artwork that accompanied the show when it was first broadcast on television, which I think it almost a necessity in a culture that’s as otaku as anime people and tee people can be.

So, you’re looking at this tee and thinking, “hey, they’re printed it in a burnout-esque kind of style” or perhaps “I wonder how they got that vintage look?” Well, this tee is actually printed completely normally… except the print is on the inside. Unusual right? So, if you turn it inside out it looks like a regular t-shirt with the writing backwards, but I think that it gives it a good look, not necessarily a vintage look, but something reminiscent of a vintage look, which may or may not make sense to you. If you’re worried about having the print going directly onto your chest and the problems that you cause, you can’t feel the print at all, and the tee itself is super soft as well, in case you’d forgotten my gushingly positive reviews of their tee quality in the past.
