Wanna win a free trip to Iceland? Threadless design contest
Filed under: Stores We Love, Style in the News
There are times in each of our lives when we wish we had the superpower of amazing t-shirt design skills (admit it) -- this is one of those times. Threadless T-shirts, the guys who pretty much host an endless stream of t-shirt design contests, are calling for submissions for a contest in which the prize is: airfare to Iceland, 2 nights in a hotel, $2,000, Dakine baggage, and bunch of other awesome stuff including an original piece of music composed by Calexico that's inspired by your design. No joke, the band Calexico will actually be using your design as inspiration, so it better not suck. We like their music, but they must really need money to be raffled off as part of this prize package. The theme of the contest is travel, but what kind of travel and when -- that's for you to decide. Here's one idea to get the creative juices flowing: horseback travel in space. Of course, both horse and rider would need spacesuits. If that wins you the contest, we expect at least a courtesy email.
Good luck, go spend some money in Iceland. Looks like they need it worse than we do.

I'm really intrigued by the bold, graphic prints of CUT-IT-OUT, a collection of jersey clothing and accessories created by Russian-born designer Yelena Konovalova. Yelena grew up studying art in St. Petersburg before moving to New York to immerse herself in the world of fashion design, first as a student at Parsons and later as Design Director for Catherine Malandrino.
There's nothing more tragic than the starving artist type (S.A.T.).
