Stickers have been a part of this culture since the beginning. People have used stickers to spread their message or just to promote whatever they’re promoting. People have collected stickers and there have even been cases where people resold stickers for a profit. The brand Original Fake, has released a new sticker set which includes six stickers all designed by KAWS. They are now available at Cruisin.
Original Fake’s 2008 Spring/Summer collection can be seen now. The catalog shows designs for the upcoming year including, shirts, jackets, accessories and denim. The clothing line will continue its collaborations, in true OF fashion, in new projects with Bape, and Headporter.

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).

Originally seen in grey, the end result seen here seems to have been altered with a new face. Only two stores in Japan will receive shipment of these for their December 22nd release date. Also available will be two t-shirts created with Santastic.

It appears as though an Original Fake collaboration with Japanese accessories maker Head Porter is in the works. This first look showcases the trademark Chomper imagery as it runs the length of a zipper. No other photographs are available but by the looks of things it appears as though a messenger bag is the basis for this design. Look for this bag to release in the very near future.
