We all want to be individual, and there is plenty of limited edition gear available out there in the world of fashion, but what about one-offs? Ever bought a one-off, one of a kind, limited edition of one t-shirt? Would you like to? Well now you have a chance to be the proud owner of a truly, totally and completely unique t-shirt from Kitsch-Nitsch. Solely managed by the graphic design duo Aka Neon & MNCHRM from their base in Slovenia (guessing by the shipping rates), these guys thrive at illustration, decoration, product design and scenography. However they specialise in a wide range of cut-out vinyl sets, that can be applied to walls, cars, or as they begun to experiment with recently, ready made products such as bags or clothes.

The Kitsch-Nitsch ideology sees design as “temporary and not timeless, revolution is the only way to make a change and constant reinvention and searching for the latest craze are the only things worth living for.” Kitsch-Nitsch offers uniquely limited edition tees designed on computers and made by hand. If you’re into your t-shirts but want something that no one else is wearing in the world, this might be your best bet! They offer world-wide shipping at ‚Ǩ5 for Slovenia, ‚Ǩ10 for Europe and ‚Ǩ20 for the rest of the planet. The site looks like a promo for a new indie band that music journos slaver after each year to make up their column inches for cynical new wave indie aficionados that have heard it all before. Great layout, stunning photos, mad designs, insane concept, it might just work out big time for these two renegades of the fashion world. Take a look at what’s still available to buy right now…

Screwface Vol. I Tee

Incredibly 80′s in style, it reminds me of all sorts of things, TOTP’s titles back in the day, French Pop Art and fashion for the new wave scene around then, even a dash of Basquiat, okay that maybe stretching it, but fun abstraction is the underlying theme here, a crazy face wins me over every time. It’s a H&M unisex shirt available (as of writing) in medium for ‚Ǩ45 and features UV glow-in-the-dark colour detailing. Remember, if the price seems steep, this is a one-off, no others will ever be made, ever! Here’s KN’s own crazy description for Screw Face Vol I. – “A weapon of choice for party animals and all other head bangers who like to enter with a scream.” Hilarious, outrageous, great fun.

Times II Tee

Here’s another funky number entitled Times II, featuring a strange and eclectic compendium of icons and shapes, marking what I assume is the passing of time. They may have even discovered a future professional model here, she’s obviously meditating on the meaning of time and this man made construction’s influence on all our lives. Maybe not. I particularly like the gold fob watches, it would be nice if they’d feature far more gold in their future designs, I know a lot of women who can’t resist the draw of gold on black. Perhaps a giant fob watch for the next in the series would be a good idea, although the ‘closed third eye’ is a new one on me, I’m guessing the moustache belongs to Grandfather Time. Who knows, it doesn’t really matter, the composition works, the colour combination provides a subtle temperance of what I am sure will be a signature style for KN in the future. Again a H&M shirt, this time available as unisex small for ‚Ǩ45.

Splash Of Neon Tee

Simple, classic, effective and once again packed full of fun. This has to be the simplest design of the lot, and yet it still works in some kind of quirky logic beyond my mortal ken. I’ve always found striped tees, or striped clothes in general, rather bland. Perhaps it was the rise and fall and rise of all that awful nautical gear so many women wore for summer after summer. But KN have done the unthinkable and mixed stripes, no, in fact they’ve trashed them. A Splash of Neon does exactly what it says on the label, this I am sure will provide hours of fun for one girl on the dance floor out there. The design is showered with pink, green, orange and yellow neon splashes and it works fine for me. It takes a lot of confidence to design simple, simple as they come, but still as stylish as ever. You can get hold of this loose and long H&M shirt size 36 for ‚Ǩ50. Featuring glow in the dark UV neon colours.

United Trash Tee

Again a funky abstract, reminding me somewhat of old weather reports, and all those magnetic meteorological symbols they used to stick up (and sometimes pick up from the floor) before TV got wise to the wonders of CGI. I rather like this one, it doesn’t mean anything I’m sure, but as far as I am concerned, dynamically, on an abstract level United Trash performs perfectly. It’s almost like a vortex to magazine detailing from the early 80′s British fashion and culture mags of the time. Lots of arrows, a subtle range of pastel hues, and a dirty great big black bang to mesmerise the eye. Superb. Available on a generic tee, women’s slim fit in medium for ‚Ǩ45.
