Monsieur T. is a streetwear brand based in Portland, Oregon. It was put up in 2004 by Quentin T. who was born in raised in France. Influenced by music and extreme sports like skateboarding and snowboarding, the designs reflect the kind of lifestyle that is now part of his life.
Although it is a relatively young company, its website shows a potential to gaining a wider audience in the long run.
The shop section shows all the t-shirts in its collection. To help shoppers make their decisions easier, each shirt is labeled whether it is on sale or currently sold out. It saves them the frustration of finding out that the product is out of stock only after they have paid for it. Also, the products are divided between collections for males and females which makes it even easier to navigate the shop.
The shop policies are neatly outlined at the info section. They are straight-to-the-point which make them easier to understand than the usual policies which are filled with too much legal jargon.
Meanwhile, if you are interested to buy their products and would like to know where to get them, the site has a section on the list of retailers. They are divided into online retailers and those based in the United States and worldwide. They come with essential contact details like their addresses and websites, making it easier to locate them.
But aside from the website itself, the brand’s strength lies in the uniqueness and simplicity of their designs and their willingness to collaborate with artists and create designs with them. It ensures not only having a variety of designs but also the cool factor that the artists can add to an already cool product.

Beautiful/Decay’s format is revolutionary in that it documents the convergence of fine art, graffiti, design and other relevant forms of art; exposing the magazine’s diverse readership to mediums that are not juxtaposed in any other independent publication. Over the last decade Beautiful/Decay has garnered a reputation for breaking never-before-seen artists, covering fine art with a youthful and informed point of view and being “THE” go-to handbook for Creative Directors in the know.
Founded on the theory that “if you can’t find it, make it”, Beautiful/Decay began as a small black & white zine started by Amir H. Fallah and high school friend Jay Littleton in the quiet suburbs of Fairfax Virginia in 1996. Taking the name from a quote by artist Barry Mcgee (Twist) in graffiti zine 12oz. Prophet, “Beautiful/Decay” described everything Amir loved about emerging art and underground culture. Since then, Amir and his partners, Ben Osher and Fubz, have taken the publication from a black & white zine with a 3000 copy circulation to a full color glossy publication with an international distribution of more than 40,000 copies. The bi-coastal publication has branched out to create Beautiful/Decay branded books, curate art shows, develop event sponsorship programs, as well as launch a highly sought after artist’s series apparel line and various limited edition products.
Serving as a trendsetting resource for curators, Creative Directors, collectors, and the like, Beautiful/Decay delivers the best in emerging art, design, music, and fashion to its readers.
Beautiful/Decay Shop specializes in carrying clothing, books, and accessories by independent artist based brands. The shop also carries Beautiful/Decays own artist based line which features clothing collaborations with featured artists from the magazine.

PopJunkie Design is the collaborative effort of Aaron Feiger and Ashley Marcinczyk. After the pair met in Santa Barbara, the company began its humble existence in a detached garage of a bungalow two blocks from the beach. Several years later, Aaron and Ashley returned to their native San Francisco and set up shop in the Panhandle district, where the change of scenery has allowed for a variety of new inspirations and urban influences. While they’re not printing and sewing till the wee hours of the morning, they run a freelance design studio called Romantic Static (http://www.romanticstatic.com)

Well my name is Fredrickus Williford (Fashion Industry Ceo). I am the creator of How to start a clothing line from scratch.
When I started my first clothing line in 2003 (I worked with other clothing lines as far as developing and designing before starting my clothing line and attended college for my BA in Fashion design/marketing) and researched everything from the internet to libraries and couldn’t find a complete source on building a clothing line from the ground up.I talked to mulitple clothing lines and all were very hesitant to share info with me on how to get started because they were too afraid of competition I guess and only want to succeed themselves.
So in 2006 I decided to start a blog which will become the one place to learn how to start a clothing line from scratch. The blog is updated daily through the week and has an industry links page with everything you need to get started from manufacturers to legal business websites (tax, business license). We cover all topics and the blog is a collective effort with input from designers from independent clothing lines and will eventually include input form major clothing lines as our reach grows.
Monday: Movie/Book reviews
Tuesday: tips and advice

Everyday I give a daily definition and include fashion news (on new clothing lines or expansion of major clothing lines) basically entrepreneurial efforts except for on sat and sunday. We just started a new category named Tip of the day which is a daily tip to help with starting your line…anything from business, design, motivation, financing, promotions.
