Cool Tees Thursday- Dirty Face

Brought to you by Dirty face who I came across over the weekend at Artsmart. Fab in-your-face graphics, right up my street! This one is called Mr Silverster and The Sockmonkey.

Sadly they do not make female tees, but they are pretty cool all the same. Do browse their site and look at the work of the great artists that collaborate to produce these fun tees.

Friday Late, June: Afropolitans - Victoria and Albert Museum

Friday Late, June: Afropolitans - Victoria and Albert Museum

24 June 2011
18.30-22.00

An evening exploring African photography, fashion, style and identity. The evening will look back to image-makers who captured the excitement, optimism and sense of freedom of post-independence African nations from the 1960s, and forward to a new generation of ‘Afropolitans’, global tastemakers whose sensibilities are rooted in their African identities. It promises to be a fun and celebratory evening of modern, iconic, African aesthetics, reflecting how Africans living across the continent (and beyond) view themselves and their visual heritage.
