I can imagine someone getting a bit over-excited about this shirt and running through Mintees-town screaming “Rip! Rip! Manticores assemble!” (not that I’m saying Mintees is over-reactionary like that, it’s just that a lot of ripoffs are discovered and discussed there), but I’m fairly sure that in this case it can be called an homage to the iconic Daft Punk logo.

Clearly I’m on a simplicity streak this week, and it doesn’t get much more simple than this, it may look as if it’s written on with a Sharpie, but I would presume that it’s screenprinted like a normal tee. I think that this style works really well, it looks a little silly with a photo of the tee on the floor, but I can imagine it looking good worn by a person (I’m a visionary!).

Have you ever met anyone that doesn’t like Daft Punk? I can imagine people not loving them, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say they dislike them.

Oh Monsieur Steve, as long as you keep making t-shirts with lines from some of my favourite electro songs on them and get naked women to hold them for photographs I’ll keep posting about you.

I looked at
Fat Gold‘s shop, and decided that they were “actually pretty good.” If you’re wondering where the ‘actually’ in that description comes from, it’s because I judge a company based on their name when I receive an e-mail, and I thought that Fat Gold were going to be another loud & lame streetwear label, and I was pleasantly surprised by the goods that I found on the site. I’m pretty sure there’s a famous saying about judging things based upon an initial observation.
The t-shirts may be a bit logo-riffic for some, although this Daft Punk logo tribute tee truly tickles me, but I like the strong simplicity of the line and that all the colourways look very wearable. They offer free delivery in Malta, so it’s safe to presume that Fat Gold are a Maltese company. I went to Malta once a few years ago, and all I remember is dog crap in the streets, a massive bell that rang out just as I walked up to it, and that the whole island was collectively awarded the George Cross for the battering they received in the Second World War.
