The Berlin based organic T-Shirt Label 500GODZ was established in the summer of 2007. Since April 2008 the strictly limited and completely sustainable, sweatshop free T-Shirt collections are distributed worldwide.
For the first collection the label got the British Street Artist AME72 on board. Other Street Art figures and Illustrators will follow with their collections.
500GODZ are pursuing a philosophy that balances a provocative and social crititical superstructure with most stringently practiced ecological awareness.
All 500GODZ T’s are made and organically dyed in Turkey out of 100% certified organically grown cotton and are printed in the UK by taking advantage of a chemical free printing technique.
In addition the cotton quality used in 500GODZ T’s is certified by the Soil Association, which is the UK’s leading organic organization and also by GOTS the Global Organic Textile Standard. All 500GODZ manufacturers are members in the Fear Wear Foundation. This Dutch based foundation aims to promote humane labour conditions in the garment industry.
This way 500GODZ are able combine both provocative social critical Street Art and environmental awareness hitting the nerve of an urban scene that is ready to make a change. Social Awareness is here not just another half hearted marketing attempt but the labels philosophy and is backed up by every possible certificate.
Moreover each t-shirt design is limited to a maximum number of 500 Shirts (usually 300 – 400), a handwritten serial number is written on the label tag of each shirt and the sales can be traced via an online map which shows to which country a design has been sold making every design a unique piece of art.
In 2004, INDVSL launched as an outlet to channel some circulating design ideas and to work with artists across multiple platforms.
Just released, “Cubicle” is a custom cut and sewn exquisite 9 color polo brought to you from the progressively askew mind of Daniel Vigil (danielvigildesign.com). Made of comfortable jersey (t-shirt) material, the polo features the controlled chaos of an indecipherable script tag behind an acid yellow pocket as well as an assortment of geometric vs. organic shapes
(some printed in soft metallics). The small text reads “Also enjoyed with pleated khakis during a nice seafood dinner” split from front to back. Wear it to the office, ninja demonstration, or a nice seafood dinner.
Between the coasts of the Northern- and the Baltic Sea, in the heart of Schleswig-Holstein (Germany), the independent fashion brand Phalanx Appparel has set its headquarters.
Armed with designs, inspired by the local everyday life in a global world, Phalanx declared the war on exorbitant prices and poor designs on uniform garments since 2005.
The collection of high-quality t-shirts, girly-shirts & sweatshirts gets completed with accessories like pins, scarfs or bags.
Beside the presence in several local stores around Germany the Phalanx product range is aviable online, including services like worldwide shipping for international customers, at www.phalanxshirts.de
Fresh styles for fair prices,
Peace!
At 17 I started the company in January of 07 because I did not want a real job, I was a Junior in highschool, and wanted a career that could keep me close to music.
6 short months later we did a leg on the warped tour, as the youngest company to be a part of the tour for the summer. We are now dropping a whole new line within the coming months and as I graduate highschool I’m ready to get it off the ground. Aimed at the music community and people inspired by art and music, we are here to make our spot in the fashion community. With help of the online community and a select list of bands, we plan to attend a few warped dates and other events within the coming months.
Soapy Laundry would like to present clothing made for the people. A clothing brand that will reinvigorate the older generation, energize our generation and motivate the younger generation. Simply bringing fashion that can be experienced by all shapes, sizes, and ethnic backgrounds. Our garments provide humor, hope and style. Each piece is a melting together of two distinct styles part “Soapy” and part “Laundry” With your support we want to create a lifestyle brand that is not just a “One Hit” wonder, but here to stay.
Guess you can say Soapy Laundry was born in the 80’s and we just didn’t know it. Working hard over the last several years in the 9-5 rat race just kept us hungry and kept us motivated. Various entrepreneur attempts on our own have had limited success. When two people with different styles have the same dream, it turning into reality can end up being one phone conversation away. In a generation filled with collaboration we felt it was time to join together and make this happen. The garments you will see released by Soapy Laundry will be a combination of two minds creating a style for the masses. It was only natural for us to do this and felt Soapy Laundry was the best forum for it to occur It’s definitely hard out here for two young men to survive, and we knew if we were going threw this, everyone around us and around the world was going through the same thing.
Trying to keep a dream from fading is tough; allowing a dream to fade would have been even tougher.
Thankfully we have decided to dive in head first in order to see where it leads us and have some fun while we’re at it of course. Some may feel like this is just another clothing label trying to find its way. We feel that this is more than clothing its life telling us its time to be true to ourselves. Failure is not and an option. We are going to stay hungry, stay motivated, and turn these 80’s dreams into realities.
You’re holding the flier for a show. It’s Xeroxed, black and white,and etched with the name of a band you’ve never heard. You decide to go. It turns out to be the greatest concert you’ll see in your life.
No matter the show, BLAST is with you, in the front row.
Drawing its influence, inspiration and motivation from DIY fliers, BLAST is a streetwear brand without frills. With a dark palette and grimey imagery, BLAST recalls the dingy clubs, basements and divebars that hosted the shows that changed our lives. And like the shows
themselves, BLAST unites disparate scenes, bridging the gaps between hip-hop, punk and metal, bringing together skate, snow and bmx.
Blending these aesthetics, BLAST extends beyond the fads of the day.With contemporary designs and classic style, BLAST has already carved out a base of dedicated followers.
BLAST clothing comes in super-limited runs. It’s just like those once in a lifetime shows: “you’ll hate yourself if you miss out.”
Brazil is a unique place in the world where there is extreme poverty vs extreme wealth, incredible music, african roots, struggle, strength, terrible violence and at the same time a mysterious happiness and hope. Nossa is about colliding these 3rd world influences with the style of New York to make sophisticated & original looking clothing.
The word Nossa means “ours” in portuguese. Based in NY, the brand was started 2 years ago and currently sells on a limited scale to a handful of elite boutiques in the U.S. and abroad. It’s also available online on its own newly launched website: www.nossadesign.com
AS|ONE Clothing was created to support the positive influences that the action sports, art, and music have on today’s culture. Separately, each of these “sub-cultures” represent their own unique place in our community, but the underlying passion remains the same.
Together, we are able to build a driving force capable of shaping a positive direction for generations to come. Your life and your world are what you make them. Take advantage of each day and get out there and do what drives you, whether it be to paddle out when there is no sign of surf, to skate the only dry spot you can find, to scribble when the only thing you have to scribble on is a napkin, and to make music when your only means is to drum the bottom of a tin can.
The owner envisioned doing something that would have a positive effect both on himself and anyone who came in contact with it. Using his passion for artistic expression he hoped to create a brand that would become a unique identifier among a group of people committed to giving back to the community, dedicated to creating a positive influence, and passionate about life and what they do. He would do so by creating clothing that would appeal to the generations responsible for shaping the future, then take a portion of the profits and return it to the community through channels such as sponsorship and charitable contributions.
The mission of AS|ONE is to inspire you to experience and question life and the world we live in through a collection of artistic images and fresh concepts. AS|ONE is constantly experimenting with new styles, fabrics, colors, and ideas to keep it fresh and different.

Subscribing to T-post is a lot like having a subscription to a magazine but instead of receiving magazines in your mailbox - you receive T-shirts. As a subscriber you receive a new t-shirt every six weeks based on a current news item. The topic is interpreted by select designers and the written story printed on the inside.
T-post started back in 2004 with an idea of trying to re-wire the structures of news communication. While thinking about ways to engage people in important topics, our favorite garment, T-shirt quickly came up and seemed like an ideal media for doing so.
T-shirts inspire conversation, and when you ad a story to them, you get people thinking, forming there own opinion, getting someone else to think about the topic, and it just keep going from there. By combining a magazine subscription with a T-shirt we’re able to utilize the attention and commitment accustom to the ‘fashion world’ while communicating interesting and important news topics. It all started out as an experiment.
Today we’re sending our issues to over 50 countries.
