If you’re as much of a fan of classic design as I am, you will definitely appreciate the love that UK indie label Plane Clothing are showing for the humble anglepoise. Invented by British architect George Carwardine in 1932, it’s still a familiar site on many office desks to this day. If you’d like to share the tribute then you’ll appreciate Plane Clothing’s Lamp Tee. The design is actually based upon “a photograph of our favourite lamp in the studio, found abandoned at the Upmarket.”

Lamp Tee

Available for £20 in white, sizes S-XL. An enlightened design.

Brand info:

Set up in East London 5 years ago by designer and photographer Gerry Buxton, who designs and hand prints (with water-based inks) all the tees and hoodies at www.planeclothing.co.uk. For more information about the design process and a behind the scenes look at Gerry’s studio, check out his Facebook page. Plane Clothing can also be found on the Upmarket next to Brick Lane every Sunday and on Spitalfields on Fridays.

New Tees By Maiden Voyage

If you’re more olde worlde than old skool you might remember our post in March about the Maiden Voyage Clothing Co. One of our only criticisms at the time was their Adobe Flash site which asides making it difficult to access for those on slower connections and crappy cell phones, the fact is reviewers like myself can’t poach pictures from their store so easily, so I for one am glad to see they’ve updated (or should that be downgraded?) their store back to lovely cuddly HTML. On a far less geeky tack, do have a butchers at their latest offerings in t-shirt form, yet again no doubt with the aid of some kind of time travelling device, MVC have captured the essence of the past, delving into the curios and curiosities of history to come up with these potential classics available in all sizes from £32 each…

Council of Crows Tee

Siamese Fencing League Tee

Dark And Stormy Night Tee

I hate to say it but it’d be nice to see some larger product images at the site and perhaps some more competitive prices, oh well, perhaps I should’ve mentioned that last time. On a side note, I think the model is superb, if anyone is going to sail the ship through stormy waters, it’s this old codger. Anyway do take a look at the rest of MVC’s tees (and handmade leather products if you fancy a new wallet – even if you have nothing to put in it) at www.MaidenVoyageClothing.com.

Broaden Your Horizons With Casa di Culture

They say that travel broadens the mind, and Casa di Culture, a highly unique and stylish t-shirt and fashion company run anonymously by three jet-setting sisters, has a tendency to reflect that in everything they do. Besides t-shirt designing, making and selling ethically produced tees, (organically printed with non-toxic ink), they also produce scarves and create jewellery. Think Audrey Hepburn, a lightly packed luxurious travel bag, a sun setting on the horizon, and a wealth of exciting international cultures and you are half way there.

Each sister is based in a different part of the world, although I can imagine that wherever they lay their respective hats are their homes; soaking in the atmosphere and picking up ideas and styles from as far as Zimbabwe, Turkey, France, The Netherlands, South America, Japan, Germany, and the USA. These three fashionable siblings have created a glamorous site and store at Casa di Culture, to keep the world updated on all their adventures through the medium of fashion and is well worth a jaunt if only to soak up a little of their unique perspective on the world – and as I’m sure the girls would tell you themselves – nuestra casa es su casa. read more
