Gerry Mak has had enough of t-shirts: If I have to read one more clever slogan or look at one more badly-silkscreened image on someone's chest I think I'm going to crawl into a hole. T-shirts add to the feeling that everyone is just screaming at everyone else in this overgrown, over-stimulated, anti-intellectual, throw-away culture. I like the idea of getting older and maturing. I look forward to grey ... Read full entry

Given the number of "independent" t-shirt designers that are about now, this idea actually makes a lot of sense, a t-shirt search engine. PleaseDressMe is a classic example of scratching ones own itch. AJ, Gary, and Joe love finding great new tees, but finding said tees wasn't the easiest thing in the world.

Bargain hunting, and even fashion blogging, isn't 100 per cent my thing, but in this instance I thought I'd point out my sister, Bridget's, New Zealand based bargain hunting website and magazine, which is soon to be rebranded Shop Savvy.

Apparently the return of the supermodels, together with the exorbitant fees they ask for merely climbing out of bed, as predicted by Forbes last year, is yet to materialise. A glance however at their 2008 list of the World's Top-Earning Models would suggest otherwise, with the world's top four models collecting US$34 million between them. Rounding out the top five are usual suspects Heidi Klum (US$14 million), Kate Moss ... Read full entry

For me half the fun of buying something from craft and fashion designers Dinosaur Designs was taking time to look at the cool and curious merchandise in the window display of their shop in Paddington, Sydney. It's been some time since I visited Paddington, (or at least spent time wandering along Oxford Street there) so I'm not sure if they are still in the little shop that was just down ...

Face Hunter Awesome fashion photography from the streets of London, Glasgow, Moscow, and beyond, via the cool hunter: Forget what the designers say, most trends emerge not from their studios but organically from the street. Cool young things all over the world are the true pioneers of fashion, wearing clothes in new ways by customizing and accessorizing and creating a pastiche of retro and modern.

Online arts and trends publication Lost At E Minor has unveiled a fantastic new look, and is bigger and better than ever, down to allowing readers to choose what colour they'd like the site to be. Coinciding with the redesign is the launch of Lost At E Minor | Discuss, a discussion forum where you can chew the fat on all things art, fashion, and trend. Nice work :)
