I have a miserable cold right now, we’ve taken in a stray cat from the snow who’s causing umpteen problems and the heating keeps going on the blink. So I was relieved to learn that not everything wintry is bad, for instance Rise and Resist have just brought out their latest seasonal collection and a dead classy collection it is too. They seem to have employed the help of a medieval monk this time around, a lot of the designs remind me of ancient illuminated texts and Gothic splendour is abound.

I have to admit it was rather a surprise to see this key change, still originality and freshness is the lifeblood of any successful brand, so there’s no room for nostalgia (unless you want to check out their sale which still has a few of their old favourites) and move on and upwards to something, darker, moodier and slightly more disturbing, much like the British weather at the moment.

Step in to the dark and lofty chambers of Randr…

Snake Tee

The Snake Tee is meticulously designed, painstakingly even, by artist Rob Barber for Randr. Serpents have a long history in symbolism, you can find snakes mentioned in the earliest Sumerian writings, throughout Egypt, The Mayans, The Indus Culture, even The Masons. There’s probably one somewhere on an important governmental building near you if you look carefully. There’s also a wealth of images of serpent headed creatures from the stars in much of history, but I’ve no time for UFO conspiracies right now, I’ve got a cold… Buy this beauty for $22 in S to 2XL for men and women, comes in asphalt and heather grey.

Eyebook Tee

Another fine example of religious/Masonic iconography, the Eyebook has been around a lot longer than Facebook, and although I don’t agree with the secret agendas, political persuasion and general skullduggery of The Masons, you have to admit, they can provide some fancy source material for artists! Dare you look into the Eyebook? Available for men and women in all sizes at $22 in heather lake blue here.
