I first heard about the Triple Major organized charitable endeavour Project White T-shirt from a Welcome Hunters email, so I’m sure some of you readers have as well. Thirty-one designers were asked to rethink the classic white tee and create their own version to be auctioned off to benefit Designers Against Aids. Worthy cause aside, the project has resulted in some really interesting interpretations (Aside: everyone remember Slow and Steady Wins the Race did their own reinvention of the classic this year?).
My personal favourite is previously featured ANNTIAN’s horse tee adapted for human. Love that sense of humour! And what do you all think? Think my big spotted girl would look styling in an ANNTIAN horse tee? Hee hee! You can see the horse tee adapted for the non-equine below.
There are video interviews with almost all of the designers, but not all of the designs have been released yet, so be sure to check back with the site over the next few weeks. I recognized quite a few of the participating designers like Bruno Pieters, A’N'D’, Complex Geometries, c. neeon, Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair, Daniel Palillo, Pelican Avenue, and Kling by Kling

I’ve had Montreal shop, Reborn bookmarked for quite some time, but held back on posting as their online selection was rather small. They recently expanded their online offerings and they’re fantastic.
They offer a beautifully curated selection of all of the usual avant-garde suspects for both men and women. At present, much of their stock is out of stock or drastically reduced in price. They do ship internationally so good news for those of us in the U.S.
During my search on Monday for shops that carried Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair, I stumbled across Portland boutique, Stand Up Comedy. While their site design is a touch clunky, it’s worth the minor frustration you have to endure to browse. They have a great little selection of every art hipster’s favourite indies, and they don’t just carry clothing. There is also an interesting assortment of books, accessories, and other objects to choose from, as well.
