Yes life bites, well at least sometimes, but take some good advice from indie Euro fashion label Kiss Diss and try biting life back!

Bite Life Tee

Available in white, heather and black for €15 this shirt, for me, is kind of a bargain when you consider all the work that’s gone it to it. Definitely not for those with green fingered unless you don’t mind your plants giving you a prune, I can’t get over the detail, would have been nice to have got some big close-ups but you can tell it’s a really nice piece of art from the start. The label was started up in 2009 by Kluzehellion who does a great line in screen prints too.

Here’s the mantra:-

“A small independent clothing company embracing streetwear culture and graphic design, both innovating and experimenting with progressive style, culminating in an abrupt action against branded culture.

Death. Cult. Women.”

Here’s a fascinating new label for the girls, a Netherlands fashion company called Cottonmouth have just released their first three limited edition t-shirts at their very very snazzy site Cottonmouth.nl. Founded by the original designers for another very popular Dutch tee label Sjeurt, they have expanded their horizons and ventured forth into the world of high female fashion, producing the best of the best quality tees for a discerningly artistic female market. Right now they have just three women’s t-shirts on offer but they’re well worth checking out, if only as a pointer for things to come. Expect stylish art shirts with an irreverent attitude to life, culture and style on the street. The store is available in Dutch and English and offers sweatshop free fashions (manufactured in USA and design, silkscreen printed tees and labels in the Netherlands), and all their orders are shipped in bio and recycled packaging, which is good to know.

Their first collection is entitled ‘MADemoiselle‘ and was inspired by the god of Pop Art Andy Warhol, yes I am a Warholian, a devotee of Andy’s work, (if you love Pop or Graffiti art, or any kind of contemporary graphic design you just can’t help it ;). Using portraits of women and girls of different decades on girly shirts Cottonmouth’s MADemoiselle them includes a scorcher of a tee, I love their take on Double Dutch – superbly designed and printed on a long comfortable T-shirt that features a stylish deeper plunged neck. Their experimentation with colours and cuts extends to Kiss me Cottonmouth, a tunic-dress that also doubles as a shirt and Fabulous Cottonmouth – a stylish long sleeved tee. All of their shirts are limited to just 20 pieces so if you’re female and want to wow your friends and acquaintances or just a stranger or two on the street I’d advice you rush over there now!

You can either order a tee at www.cottonmouth.nl or visit their store ‘KiBoCo’ in Bussum, the Netherlands. Whilst you’re at the site make sure to read up on all their latest info available at the Cottonmouth Community and stay informed about all their latest developments and designs

In case you’re living somewhere other than Holland their shipping costs are as follows:- The Netherlands: free shipping, Europe: ‚Ǩ 4,00 and outside Europe: ‚Ǩ12,50 which isn’t all that bad, although it would be nice if they encouraged a bulk deal, say buy three tees and offer free global shipping. or am I asking too much? Well actually it’s my gf who’s asking lol. Anyway let’s take a closer look at the MADemoiselle collection:- read more
