My man over in Vancouver, Wrongwroks, has released the second part of his fall collection and it stick to the tried and tested formula of mashing up pop culture icons. There’s also a bit of a sad story to one of the tees being released. Tony’s dog, Nana, died recently, but there were already plans afoot to release a tee with her image on it, and Tony decided to continue with the release anyway. I’d say that Nana was the topic that is discussed the most on the Wrongwroks blog, and whilst I’m not exactly an animal lover I must admit that Nana may well be the best looking dog I’ve ever seen (there’s a couple of pics in the gallery), so why shouldn’t she have her own tee?

On a less depressing note, I absolutely love the Dorabob x Comma De Garcon hats from this release.

Wrongwroks continues his/their (I’m never sure which to put) blistering release schedule by putting up their Fall line just a few weeks after returning from a triumphant show in Taipei. I really like the selection of hats that have just been released, the ‘Everyone Steals’ tee is a nice jab at his critics, and the Dorabob character has evolved once again, this time being mashed up with a Marlboro colorway.

Wrongwroks headed out to Taiwan recently to take part in a show called Real Fake. The show exhibited works by three artists, Stay Real, Kea, and of course, Wrongwroks.

Alongside the exhibition of printed works there was also a tee release. Some people arrived at 7am in the morning to ensure they could pick up the new black Dorabob tee by Stay Real, and it didn’t even go on sale until 1pm! The tee was limited to 100 pieces, and sold out in 20 minutes (though there are now a few available on the WR site), so I guess turning up early was actually a pretty good idea. Refreshingly, fans were allowed to take pictures in the exhibition, which is something I like to see, because who are you really harming if you take a picture in a gallery?

Oh, and Wrongwroks has released a couple of really cool hats too.

I’ve gone a bit picture crazy with this post, so if you click through for the rest of the entry (RSS readers might have the whole thing without needing to click through) then there’s a pretty big gallery for you to peruse.

I guess I could put ironic air-quotes around everything that Wrongwroks release since the vast majority of their work is based upon pop culture mashups, but in this case its because some of the designs have already been released in different colourways. Even though the designs aren’t particularly new the photos look pretty great.

Speaking of Canadian labels (although I guess Montreal and Vancouver are very different places), here’s the latest releases from Wrongwroks. The little gallery above shows off their latest offerings, including a couple of tees with NAT on them and a special triple collaboration between wrongwroks, Camilla D’Errico, and Baxbear.

A couple of you commented on my last Wrongwroks post that you were getting a virus warning when you opened the site. I e-mailed them about it and it has since been fixed, but please let me know if the problems persists for you.

I wonder how Wrongwroks can possibly eat or drink anything with his tongue placed ever so firmly in his cheek all the time.

I really like the new hat with the dots on it, but I’m not so sure about the tee with tennis ace/hotty Maria Sharapova chowing down on a banana rather suggestively, I can’t see myself wearing it, but I guess that it does fit with Wrongwroks ethos.

That isn’t a typo in the title there, Urban Retro have indeed added two hundred new designs to their store, from brands like Beautiful/Decay, Terratag, Junk Food, Wrongwroks, Seventyseven, and Supremebeing. Urban Retro are really turning into one of my favourite stores in the UK, and not just because they’re pretty liberal with their coupon codes. If you want to get 10% off your order just enter the coupon code SUMMER2008 at the checkout to be eligible for the discount. The coupon code is valid until the end of July.

The more I learn about Wrongwroks the more I find that he’s actually “kind of a big deal” in Asia. At a recent toy festival in Taiwan people were queuing up two and a half hours early to be in line for a signing he was doing, and they were waiting in the rain!

They were waiting in the rain because they wanted to be among the first to get their hands on Wrongwroks latest release, a book chronicling all the releases so far, as well as showing off a few previously unseen snaps from photoshoots. The book can be purchased on its own or as part of a box set in which you will get a limited edition silkscreened box and a “Supreme Ripped Off” t-shirt. There’s only 300 of these sets available worldwide, so I guess they’ll go pretty fast judging from Wrongwroks popularity.

I don’t think that Wrongwroks ever take a day off (despite facts!), they/he put out designs at a rate far beyond what you’d expect of a brand their size. You can expect more pop culture mashup madness if you click through for a couple more pics from the collection.Wrongwroks

Okay, I think this should be the last in what feels like a flurry or Wrongwroks posts for a while now (they can’t have more up their sleeves, can they?). All three tees are currently available in Wrongwroks ‘Stuff‘ section.
