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.

Ok, so I’m wearing this t-shirt right now. It’s by Singapore-based fashion label Hooked Clothing, and it’s just about my favorite tee at the moment. Why? Why not. Tees are fun and Hooked has me hooked. Read more

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’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.

London-based Brian McKenzie’s prints, paintings, and clay sculptures all have a great, almost retro spookiness about them. They look like illustrations for German cautionary fairy tales. Read more
I stumbled across the Hello, Blue Roses track, My Shadow Falls, the other week and it set my ears alight, this subtle but beautiful song and its cascading melodic line which will at once ingrain yourself in your inner-ear iPod and then disappear out the other end, leaving only the sweetest of memories.

If anyone ever asks you to define the word “schadenfreude,” show him or her these pictures of a poor skier hanging from a ski lift with his junk exposed to the alpine chill. If the person viewing the pictures laughs, he or she now understands the particularly useful German term.
The urban planning for Dubai increasingly has the city looking more and more like a still out of a Jetsens episode. The futuristic architecture that charcterises its evolution is pushing the boundaries of design, the buildings climbing ever upwards with their blindingly original facades. Apparently Dubai is home to between 15 and 25 percent of the world’s 125,000 construction cranes, which is hardly surprising. This image above is a sneak preview of how the famed Dubai waterfront will look in a few years time.
The Australian film collective behind the sci-fi spoof, The Time That Time Forgot, perfectly capture the look and feel of awkward, low-budget rip-offs from the ’70s — the psychedelic lighting, bad dubbing, and amazing hair. One almost wishes Italian Spiderman was for real. [more about Italian Spiderman]
When Big Brother means nothing more than a new low in television standards, the warnings of Orwell’s classic 1984 are more poignant than ever. Miniluv — or The Ministry of Love in Oldspeak — is where Winston was brutally tortured, brain-washed and ultimately learned to love Big Brother. And no, he wasn’t watching TV. Wear your highbrow literary tastes with pride. Created by graphic-tee fashion label the-affair and printed on soft American Apparel, this tee is available for purchase through our online store.

I would love one to give to my bro. He’s a bit down after an injury, so maybe a hot new shirt would lift his spirits.
