More than ten years after their legendary swimming babies clip, fellow French brand Evian finds another funny answer to the question how one feels when drinking their water. Better get some uppers if this doesn´t put a big smile on your face.

Still I´d like to share some T-shirt designs of three of my current favourite designers with you:

Paul Snowden (Berlin, Germany)

The only new work I got through the Berlinale job was a mail from this dude, interested in me designing a limited edition shirt for the Berlin Fuc King Hell Club Tour in summer 09. We finally hooked up, I got thanked for the website, worked on the shirt together and it turned out great. So finally, smiles all around. Life is crazy sometimes.


Emil Kozak (Barcelona, Spain)

I hope that my work can remind us that imagination can defy gravity and bend time. It is our own responsibility to enjoy every second of the day. Nobody else can do that for us. Have fun, eat candy, do what you love, love what you do… We might get thrown off this spinning ball of iron and mantle tomorrow.


Steven Harrington (South Pasadena, USA)

Steven Harrington lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. Influenced by Time Life encyclopedias from 1965 through 1972, thrift stores and the ’60s psych sounds of The Moody Blues, his art might be termed “contextual objectivism.” That is, each piece is created as a tangible object symbiotically defined of a larger context. In addition to producing commissioned and self-inspired works, Harrington operates National Forest Design with fellow artist Justin Krietemeyer.

Jared already told you that I will try to fill in for him while he´s having a good time in Tahiti.

To give you a brief idea about who I am: I´m responsible for Spreadshirt´s social media activities, I´m a lover of all kinds of contemporary electronic club music influenced by “Third World” (I hate that expression) music genres, and I´m running a little T-shirt label called “seen.” through which me and my partners try to spread reggae and dancehall related T-shirts which don´t look like the regular reggae and dancehall related T-shirts (no red, gold and green, no marijuana leaves, no Bob Marley). And ye, I´m blogging about all those things as well and am very happy top host a brilliant weekly “lazer bass” podcast by my man Tim Turbo.

Alright. Enough shameless self-promotion. What will I write about here in the upcoming days? Well, like Jared does, I´ll basically try to show you visually inspiring stuff I´ve been stumbling upon lately. And I´ll kick off with the work of Alain Guerra and Neraldo de la Paz (see picture above). Together, they created Guerra de la Paz.

The creative duo loves to create colorful ‘textile sculptures’ (more here) and playing with textural layering. Their work is based on a combination of traditional disciplines and experimentation with dimension and the use of unconventional materials. Its just sumptuous ! If you are in NY be sure to check their latest exhibition at Daneyal Mahmood Gallery.

Btw: I´m heading off to Berlin now -  if anybody of you will be enjoying some Bread and Butter or any other Fashion Week goodness, too, feel free to link me up via Twitter or Facebook.

Collection of Hope emerged from a collaboration of ESMOD (fashion school) with the association i-magine. The collection is an organic line that is produced by ESMOD. All revenue from sales will directly go to i-magine supporting the fight against AIDS in Africa.

The designs presented today are created of students from ESMOD and are reworked by PlaymoO (Thank you!). The prints are made of water-based colours on Continental „Earth Positiv“-Shirts (equivalent to Organic Shirts of American Apparel).

We are happy to support Collection of Hope in our own manner: please find a very very limited edition of the designs on laFraise.com. But hurry up – there are only 100 pieces of each shirt. All revenue of its sales equally goes directly to i-magine.
