Off White’s Guys Tees Are Anything But Off

For Off-White’s designer Virgil Abloh, graphic tees are a ‘must’ in his wardrobe. Besides owning an insane amount, he considers graphic tees as the ‘most expressive format’ + who can blame him, as they can say so much about the wearer, devoid of any facial expression + can easily be dressed up or down.

Abloh had this to say about graphic tees in his recent interview with GQ:

‘To me, graphic T-shirts are the most important + most expressive format for a designer or a person. Your taste in graphic tees says a lot about your point of view. I look at them like a canvas, + what I make says tons about my point of view. It’s the genre of fashion I come from, + I love the challenge every season of exploring new, cool ways to make a graphic tee.’

Besides sharing my love for negative space, another thing I love about Off-White’s graphic tees are their sense of humor like this tee below, which features a small ‘OFF’ on the upper right front but then in the back, besides saying the usual ‘WHITE’ it reads ‘YOUTH WILL ALWAYS WIN’.

These graphic tees + more are only available online at Off White.

Introducing St. Tropez’s Gradual Tan In Shower

 

STT

From my experience, as far as self tanners go, St. Tropez is one of the best for leaving very little room for error. So imagine my excitement when I received a sample of their latest + greatest in my Birchbox yesterday. Called ‘St Tropez’s Gradual Tan in Shower’, now self tanning will be as simple as using a shower gel. The beauty of this shower gel is that its packed with 100% bronzing agents. And as usual, application is simple.

After showering yourself clean, apply the creamy wonder while still wet in the shower + let it sit for three minutes – enough time to do a hair mask. Eventually you’ll start to see a subtle, natural golden glow with every use. But you must use it for three days to get that intense glow. Of course, as with any self-tanner, you must wash your hands after use, to avoid staining. And if you’re too busy to forget to moisturize after its application, don’t worry, as its packed with sweet almond oil to quench your skin’s thirst.

I’m going to give it a try today, so wish me luck!

Futuristic Linear + Spectral Shaped Tattoos

SpectralShapedTattoos3-900x585

A while back, when I first laid eyes on these spectral shaped tattoos, I gagged, and Tattoo artist Chaim Machlev, with the Dots to Lines studio is guilty for such amazing work.

What kills me is the meticulous detail involved in each tattoo + all the lines involved – I’m a sucker for lines, what can I say. Finely drawn linear + spectral shaped pieces, often cover one part of the body + or limbs, as seen above in the pic of female legs.

To maintain that amount of symmetry + know how to gauge time’s wear on the tattoo, when picking a line’s thickness, is remarkable.

The futuristic appeal of these tattoos just makes me wonder on this ‘what if’: Imagine if information, on how our bodies act + react, were to be minimized to linear + spectral shapes as above, then tattooed on our person, for identification purposes?
