Blurb first, thoughts second:

Hunt Beauty, AK + Flower logo tee shirt. With pink print for the ultimate look. The graphic references militancy but actually represents the Kiser “Hunt Beauty” concept which is the pursuit of truth and originality.

I know that it isn’t what was intended, but when I look at this tee I can’t help but be reminded of the episode of the Simpsons where Homer puts a flower into the barrel of a rifle then has it shot into his head. Anyway, great looking graphic, printed nice and large, and the pink sits well on the brown, I approve!

The idea of putting a photo onto a tee kinda appeals to me when its mixed with a little something like the red squiggles on this lotus photo. I’m sure the artist wouldn’t call them ‘red squiggles’ but that’s all I’m seeing at the moment. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

J’aime l’Amka

redfloww_07I’m not French, I barely speak French (ou est le biblioteque?), but there’s one thing I do recognise, design, and they have it in spades, well, actually, in this case they have it on long-sleeve tees.

Amka (Moroccan for “someone who has their head a bit in the sky”) are a design studio headed by 27 year-old graphic designer Thomas Gayet, who make rather stylish clothes and posters. I took a particular shine to the Redflower long sleeve tee that they sell (costiness=€23), and they even have it in my size, wait, a French company that go above L, saints be praised!

I’m sure some guys would ummm and ahhh about the flower design, but I think it’s pretty neat, it’s off-centre, it’s not overtly feminine (though there is a girls version with the same design for €1 more), and anyway, who cares what everyone else thinks? You can always says it’s what everyone’s wearing in France…

I know, I should try and remain mysterious, semi-androgynous, and calm, but check out their models, boy do they raise an eyebrow or two.
