by placing colored felt-tip pens in the pockets of the dress its appearance changes over time.
within an hour - to one and a half hours the colored ink bleeds into the fabric and creates a one-off design
for each occasion. the owner can then clean the dress and color it in a different way for each time they wear it.

Virtual Shoe Museum

The Virtual Shoe Museum was initiated by Liza Snook in 2004. Once the idea was born, a long search began for designers, photographers and publishers connected to shoes. New friendships developed and our mailbox filled with loads of material on fantastic shoes, art and design on shoes.

And finally, with the help of Taco Zwaanswijk of Interactive Affairs, who designed the site, and Bart van der Ploeg of Resolume, who programmed the database and created the content management system, we’re live! And proud! And we’re only just beginning…

Both very well executed and quite similar. Seems like music is ruling the trends in t-shirts.. or is it the opposite? I like the musics as well.

ADIDAS ORIGINALS and FOOT LOCKER gathered over the last months some of the best seven graffiti artists in the world SKORE (UK), CAN2/ATOM (GER), SILOETTE (US), RIME (US), SCIEN (FR), SMART (IT)) to work together on a fresh concept - a collection of footwear, clothing and accessories that takes their artwork from the sketchbook to the streets.
The result is the transformation of a rolling masterpiece of graffiti artwork originally applied to a subway carriage, running from end to end, into a graffiti-based streetwear collection.

Over a period of three days, the chosen 7 artists worked day and night, in a custom-built environment, to create the artwork for this distinctive collection. In gathering the artists together under one roof, this approach created a new process in developing graffiti-based product.
Furthermore, ADIDAS ORIGINALS and FOOT LOCKER documented the process allowing the viewer to see this unique project from start to finish ? providing a rare insight into the skills of the seven graffiti artists.
The collection launches in March ‘07 with the “All City and the Burner Collections”, made up of signature clothing and footwear designed by each artist, showcasing their own individual talents and styles.

T-post

Subscribing to t-post is a lot like having a magazine subscription, but instead of receiving magazines in your mailbox, you will receive t-shirts.
Every six weeks they design a unique t-shirt based on a current news item and print the shirt’s topic inside. You may not hear always about T-post’s story from your traditional news media but in our opinion you should have. It’s more than a cool looking shirt, it’s something to talk about. Sound Interesting?
