On My NY Sh!t tees and totes
Reader Find
I’m pretty bummed that I randomly stumbled across Brooklyn apparel store, Kings of NY, a week after I departed New York. I dig the stocked Bronx streetwear label Don’t Question Kings; creators of simple, aesthetically-pleasing tees and totes which boldly adorn the words, On My NY Sh!t. Now I think the hip, modern day slogan gives ‘I Heart NY’ a run for its money. No?

Pizza Slice BFF Necklace
Reader Find
Back in the day when I was growing up, BFF’s split those two-piece ‘best friend’ necklaces and flaunted them around their necks as a visual cue for their everlasting camaraderie. Today, cheesy friends can share the pizza necklace among nine buds in the crew. Sure, the exclusiveness has worn off a little, but you can’t [...]

Underground Supporter Olympics posters by Rizon
Reader Find
If your eyeballs have been glued to the London 2012 Olympics, chances are you’re being bombarded with advertising. Adidas alone reportedly paid $150 million to secure an official sponsorship deal. So it’s little wonder London designers Rizon created a series of unofficial posters for small-to-medium businesses to use to keep the Games about sport, not sponsorship, as the slogan exclaims.

Fashion for Apple fanatics
Reader Find
Back in the day (1986, to be exact), Apple had its very own clothing line bursting with tees, tennis visors, trackie dacks, belts and hats adorning the funky-coloured, old school Granny Smith logo. Shock horror! As cool as being born or growing up in the 80s was, I can wholeheartedly say that I am glad these babies have ceased production. The very thought of Apple fanboys and fangirls rocking such apparel today is on par with the unfashionable heathens who think it’s socially acceptable to wear Crocs.

An art series where Barbie Dolls are restrained underwater
Reader Find
Not a fan of Barbie? Then I bet pennies you’ll enjoy Daena Title’s work. Her latest series DROWN the DOLLS does just that: it restrains Barbie underwater in the name of feminism and saying “no” to the narrow parameters that this role model presents. You know, that the iconic doll represents a womanly figure that is fake and unattainable (disproportionately large breasts with a teeny waist). Deep and meaningful words aside, I’m captivated by Title’s technique, the broken refracted colours, and screaming subtlety.
