Us Versus Them, the art collective & clothing line from the people behind the Southern California boutique/gallery, Versus will be releasing the 1st half of their Winter collection of designs this weekend. Consisting of hand-drawn designs and exclusive photographs, the line eschews the standard Photoshop cut & paste “sampling” in favor of a more ground up and thoughtful approach. Each design, while remaining aesthetically appealing, was created to represent a particular emotion or message, usually having to do with the dynamic relationships between creativity & capitalism and the disenfranchised & those in power. The Tin Soldiers shirt is a prime example which was printed on a locally cut & sewn custom body, featuring a photograph that was used in the official court hearings on the Kent State shootings, where student protesters were gunned down by anxious Ohio state troopers. The collection will be available now.
Neon Genesis Evangelion is a very successful popular Japanese anime that started showing in October 1995. Based on the manga by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, this animation is about a paramilitary organization called NERV that fights against monstrous beings called Angels. This animation is so influential that it still lingers in pop culture till this day. Beams T, in commemoration of this anime has created a collection of Evangelion x Beams T t-shirts. The latest shirt from this series is the Blood Rain t-shirt. Available soon at Beams T.
The Clot Fantasy t-shirt collection is a series of tees featuring photo prints of famous Asian celebrities posing in a seductive manner. This round, Clot invited movie star Shu Qi to be the model for the latest Clot Fantasy t-shirt. Clot also invited the artist KAWS to add some graphics to the shirt. KAWS chose to use one of his many signature characters, the Bendy, to intermingle with the sexy actress. To finish off the CLOT Fantasy collection, it made sense to go with what is considered one of the best in Shu Qi. These shirts will be sold on December 31st at the Juice and ACU shops with a price tag of $880 HKD (approximately $113 USD).
