SHORT MESSAGES:

Navigation - Google map point inspired designer Gary Graham for a shirt With his hand silk-screened ‘Google point on search results’-illustration, US designer Gary Graham tells a story about vintage and peace: vintage - because the point stands for where we are and where we are going; peace – because the designer has chosen this destination for the future. The purchase of the Peace-Vintage t-shirt supports designers and the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund.

Vintage collection of music shirts with a hang tag that provides a unique URL to download the music The idea for the music shirts was born in 2009; the shirts are illustrated with the cover on the front, the tracklist on the back, and have a hang tag with a unique URL to download the music. Nielsen SoundScan registers each download which counts as an album sale. The 'Music Tee' launches the 'Vintage Collection 2010' on 3 Feb. Each month new artist titles will be printed on fabrics; the Music Tee starts the new collection with the punk legends Bad Religion, Bad Brains and The Exciter. The shirts are available off- and online: at Saks Fifth Avenue, boutiques in New York, on the musicians' websites, at offline music shops...
