Joe Button is a new Australian start-up that lets both men and women create their own shirts and shirt-dresses made from 100 percent European cotton.

And for those who don’t have the time to design, Joe Button also has an essentials collection with shirts named after some infamously quirky literary and film characters, like The Patrick Bateman. Although their shirts are all individually made, they all share one particular feature: the last button on every Joe Button shirt is red.

Inspired by dark, out of the way bars, Places We Should Go is a project by Mark Sarmel that revolves around four imaginary bars. They’re just the type of place one might accidentally stumble into and instantly feel at home, or not, but then the best adventures are often those that are unexpected.

6dollarshirts creates unique t-shirts with artistically complex designs which sell for just six dollars each. In-house graphic designer Jeff T. Owens contributes everything from psychedelic art and mash-ups, such as The Inseminator and Weird Owl, to internet meme characters.

If you ever asked for a brag-worthy souvenir as a kid, only to have your dreams crushed by some play it safe relative, then chances are they brought you back a tourist tee instead. Now, it may not have cemented your status as the coolest kid in school, and you certainly couldn’t take it into show-and-tell. But by the looks of Melbourne label Limedrop, you might have been onto something. Their latest collection, Places I’ve Never Been, takes inspiration from the vintage tourist t shirts they’ve collected over the years, and the cities they aspire to visit. Slip into nomad mode wearing featherweight fabrics, and travel to faraway lands without even leaving your hood. Who knew dreaming about travel could be so fun?

You’ve got to give it to the guys at American fashion label, Attus Apparel. Just over a year into business and already they are producing some of the more … ummm … interesting photo shoots out there.
