Filed under: Style in the News

Balenciaga's Nicolas Ghesquiere (at right) has relied on French artist Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster to help design the interiors of more than one Balenciaga store, and now he's poised to return the favor.

Dress like Goats, it's fun!

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Clothing, Men, Kids and Babies, Books




Whit Honea is a slacker, a borderline degenerate, and a daydream believer. He's also our resident expert on casual chic. If it's comfortable, and not heinous, he's all over it. He's quite charming, really.


What, you may ask, does a goat wear? To which we would reply, it depends where it's going. Are we talking business casual? Then, after we were all done laughing and things started to turn a little awkward we'd add, we're not talking about real goats, dummy.
No, we aren't. We're talking about Goats the comic strip by Jonathan Rosenberg and the subsequent line of t-shirts that it spawned.

These t-shirts look better than the future

Filed under: Clothing, Books

T-shirt collections can be so optimistic, it's embarrassing. What's worse is that they can showcase your ignorance of literature and suggest political tolerance. That's a lot of pressure on casual Friday.

That is where the folks at The Affair come in. They have a line of t-shirts that have shed the rose-colored glasses and tell you how it is/and/or will be. These guys aren't throwing hearts and rainbows on their gear, they're dropping knowledge, much of which is directly influenced by a collection of classic novels with dystopian themes. They aren't screen printing sunshine, folks.

Take the MiniLuv (pictured). If you bought this shirt at some novelty shop it would most likely include an arrow pointing downward, but not here. This is a reference to George Orwell's Big Brother and the Ministry of Love where Winston was tortured and made to embrace "Big Brother." The site is quick to point out that they are not talking about the TV show. Besides, Winston was more of a "Survivor" fan.

The tagline reads "Wear your highbrow literary tastes with pride." If you're looking for John Grisham quotes you'll have to take it elsewhere.

I don't care how bleak the message, anyone that combines fashion and literature is okay in my book, and my closet.


Anti-bacteria clothing: fashion for the germaphobe

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Style for a Cause

Are you one of those people who won't shake hands with strangers, never eats something when it falls on the ground, and holds your breath around anyone with a cold? You and your germaphobe friends now have help in your never-ending battle against infection -- anti-bacterial clothing.

The fairly fashionable (in a sci-fi way) garments at right are embedded with nanoparticles that "give them functional qualities never before seen in the fashion world." Namely, that they kill bacteria and ward off disease. It gets more complicated than that, but it all has to do with ions, charges and particles so I had flashbacks to high school physics and stopped paying attention.

Regardless, unless you're Bill Gates, it's a little out of your price range. The fabric costs $10,000 a yard, so you can guess how much a whole shirt costs (my guess: more than you could get if you sold your body to science).

In any case, it's a cool concept.
