We’re big fans of Australian streetwear label Nique. Their clothes are distinctive and edgy, with great cuts and fabrics. The designers behind the label. Nick and Lucy Ennis. have no formal training in fashion and have therefore come at it from a completely fresh and unaffected perspective. Working out of Melbourne, Nique are slowly infiltrating hip boutiques throughout the country. They recently promoted the label with an ad on the Lost At E Minor website and now they have given us five t-shirts [above left] to give away to random Lost At E Minor subscribers who send this post to 3 or more friends or leave a message under this posting with two good reasons why you should get one. Entries close Feb 18 and winners will be announced under this posting.

2. I took the liberty to leave a message under this posting.

1. I have just quit my job to go back and study design full time and cant afford any new clothes.
2. I need a new Nique T shirt to be able to keep up a cool image with all the other students.
peaches said | 15 February, 2007
1. I have a hot new boyfriend (this took me 29 years to achieve and thus deserves a reward).
2. He has terrible dress sense. It’s more subtle to manipulate a partner’s wardrobe via winning clothes rather than buying them.

*I need some style when I’m up in the tropical mountains reforesting and fighting corruption.
*I’ve recently stopped believing in Santa Claus as one singular entity but believe his spirit be manifested, on a daily basis, in many human beings. I specifically need some confirmation.

b)I have three t-shirts, two have large holes.
shelley said | 16 February, 2007
Hmm, this may not be the best reason MR Z but I deserve this t-shirt most because
the model in the melon coloured design is an old friend who I only get to see these days in mags and ads etc… Come home to cut my hair again Khi!
It will remind me of him and the good ole days…

i) it would act as rent for this penny free writer
ii) it would stay in melbourne and not be seperated from its home town (leaving home can be traumatic, even for fashion like items)

1.Chuck Norris does not get frostbite. Chuck Norris bites frost. Unfortunately I cannot ward of frost like Chuck, so I might need a Nique tee to keep me warm.
2. Chuck Norris doesn’t wear a watch, HE decides what time it is.
So I’ve taken a leaf out of Chuck’s book, and I’ve decided that it’s time that I win a prize.

UK illustrator Izzie Klingels creates the loveliest, delicate black and white stippled drawings that she seems to find a myriad of endless applications for. Most interestingly, Klingels appears to do quite a large amount of work within the fashion industry, something of a minor coup for an illustrator in this day and age. Read more

Tyr are a great Viking metal band from the Faroe Islands, a tiny nation between Greenland and the British Islands. They sing in Faroese, Danish, and English, crafting amazingly catchy songs inspired by Dream Theater, mid-era Metallica, and Black Sabbath.
Formed in New York and now based in Rotterdam and Berlin, SMAQ is a collaborative studio for architecture and urbanism by architects Sabine Müller and Andreas Quednau. Here they have created an interesting installation called Bad (bath) in the Solitude Palace Gardens in Stuttgart with the premise of creating a usable sculpture which entwines a 1000 metre long garden hose throughout a timber structure.

The issue of abortion has hardly ever been represented so honestly by a movie. Knocked Up and Juno gave the pro-choice movement a boost, and of those two, only Juno came close to confronting the issue. In the Princess of Nebraska, the main character suffers through indecision, naivety and turmoil that seem much closer to reality. Read more
Yes, Karen O wears it. And we don’t blame her. Launched by make-up artist, Mike Potter, Knock Out Cosmetics nail polish is a little Victorian, a touch art deco, and a lot of rock n’ roll.
